Water Inlet Hoses
Replace inlet hoses and hose screen after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.
Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement.
Vacation, Storage and Moving Care
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the
hoses, freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing
weather, winterize it.
Non-Use or Vacation Care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your
dryer for an extended period of time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid unintended flooding (due to a
water pressure surge) while you are away.

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Shut off water faucet.
3. Disconnect water inlet hose from faucet and drain.
To use dryer again
