steps
- check the water supply
check that the tap is open and look for a kink in the visible inlet hose without moving the connected washer. note whether water starts, slows or stops, and any visible leak. do not remove covers to watch filling.
- turn the washer off
unplug from a dry, safe point and close the tap before any internal work. leave wiring and hose connections to the technician.
- have the parts checked
give the technician the full model and product number for the product page check. ask them to check the water supply and flow detection, then compare the old valve's mounting, keyed plugs and flowmeter.
- resolve any difference
keep the washer off if the mounting differs. request an exact-part check; do not swap brackets or alter the cabinet. after any repair, the technician should check that filling is controlled and there are no leaks.
