repair clinic encourages you to perform this procedure safely
in this video we will show one or more of these icons
to alert you when to use caution
as with any repair
be sure you've unplugged the appliance before beginning
your first step is to move the control panel out of the way
to do this remove the screws found at either end
on some models these screws may be located in the rear panel
or they may be covered by plastic end caps
pull the end cap off from the top to access the screw
remove both screws
and rotate the panel up
some models use clips instead of screws to secure the control panel
insert a putty knife between the control panel and the cabinet to release the
clips
unplug the wire connector
and snap out the spring clips using a flat head screw driver
tilt the cabinet toward you slide forward and remove
you're now ready to remove the old drain hose connecting the pump to the back
panel
using pliers release the clamp that secures the hose of the pump and pull
the hose off
be prepared for water to spill out
next remove the external drain hose from the back panel
again be prepared for some water to spill
release the plastic back panel port by pressing down the tab at the top and
pull the old drain hose assembly out
prepare the new drain hose assembly for installation by sliding the new clamp onto
the hose
now feed the new hose through the back panel
align the bottom of the plastic port with the slot in the panel and snap the
top portion into place
snap the support clip into the base leg
and slide the hose onto the outlet port of the pump
secure it by tightening the clamp and locking it in place with a flat head
screw driver
reattach the external drain hose to the new back panel port
now reinstall the cabinet
the front edge of the cabinet slides underneath the base frame use your foot
to push it into position align the two notches in each side of the cabinet with
the tabs and each side of the base frame
now ease the cabinet to match up with the rear panel
reinstall the spring clips
reattach the wire connector
rotate the control panel down and lock the clips into place
or reinstall the two screws
if applicable to your model replace the end caps by aligning the tab with the
slot at the bottom and snapping the cap into position
you are now ready to plug the appliance back in to make sure it's functioning
properly
