Installation Before You Start Installing the Washer Tools NOTE: If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it until the washer has had a chance to warm up. For most installations, the basic tools you will need are: 1 2 3 Step 1: Remove the Shipping Brace and Shipping Plug IMPORTANT: Install dryer before washer. This allows room for attaching exhaust duct.

Install this end of hose to water supply faucet.
Installation Step 4: Connect Drain Hose to Drain Receptacle High Standpipe Installation Refer to section on Drain Facilities before connecting drain hose to drain receptacle. NOTE: No. 562P3 Siphon Break Kit and No. 25863 Hose Coupling are not required for this type of installation. Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on the rear of the washer by unhooking the hose from the retainer clamp.
Installation Low Standpipe Installation Step 5: Position and Level the Washer NOTE: No. 562P3 Siphon Break Kit and No. 25863 Hose Coupling are required for this type of installation. This kit is available (as optional equipment at extra cost) through an authorized dealer or parts distributor. Installation instructions are supplied with the kit. Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for installation and servicing. OPTIONAL: Raise the standpipe to the recommended height of 36 inches (92 cm).
Installation Step 6: Plug In the Washer Step 8: Check Lid Switch Refer to the following section on Electrical Requirements before plugging in the washer. Washer should stop filling, agitating and spinning when lid is opened. D254I D254I Figure 10 Step 7: Add Water to the Washer TLW1974N To prevent damage to pump, do not run washer before adding at least one quart water to the tub. If the washer is run before any water is added, the pump seal may overheat, causing the pump to leak.
Installation Electrical Requirements 2 1 (120 Volt, 60 Hertz with 3-Prong Grounding Plug) 3 NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the control hood. 0 V.A.C. 120 ± 12 V.A.C. WARNING 5 To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, all wiring and grounding MUST conform with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, and such local regulations as might apply.
Installation Grounding Instructions The washer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a three-prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Installation Water Supply Requirements NOTE: Longer fill hoses are available (as optional equipment at extra cost) if the hoses (supplied with the washer) are not long enough for the installation. Order hoses as follows: WARNING Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
Installation Risers Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The risers are more efficient when installed as close as possible to the water supply faucets. Refer to Figure 16.
Installation Drain Facilities 1 IMPORTANT: The drain hose installation is a very important factor in the washer installation. If care is not taken when the drain hose is installed, a siphoning action can be started which will cause water to be siphoned from the washer during the cycle. End of drain hose should never be in water as siphoning action can be started that will cause water to be siphoned back into the washer.
Installation Enclosed in the shipping bag are four tamper-resistant screws. When used, these screws will provide additional security for your washer. Additional Washer Security (Coin Models Only) 6.
