Connecting the Water Lines

1
Check the fittings and seals.
Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and
make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both
ends of each hose to prevent leaking.

Connect the water supply hoses to the hot and
cold water faucets tightly by hand and then

Flush out the inlet hoses.
After connecting the inlet hoses to the water
faucets, turn on the water faucets to flush out
foreign substances (dirt, sand or sawdust) in
the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket,
and check the water temperature to make sure
you've connected the hoses to the correct
faucets.

washer. Tighten the fittings securely. Turn ON
both faucets all the way and check for leaks at
both ends of the hoses.

WARNING
• Do not overtighten the hoses or crossthread the
hose fittings. Overtightening or cross-threading
can damage the valves, resulting in leaking and
property damage.
• Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
CAUTION
• Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses
when installing the washer. Old hoses could
leak or burst causing flooding and property
damage. Contact LG Customer Service for
assistance in buying hoses: 1-800-243-0000.
NOTE
• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks, and
wear, and replace the hoses every five years. Do
not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and make
sure that they are not pinched, crushed or kinked
by other objects.
• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi
and 120 psi (138 – 827 kPa). If the water supply
pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing
valve must be installed.
• To provide optimum washing performance, the hot
water temperature should be set at 120 – 135 °F
(48 – 57 °C) and the cold at 60 °F (15 °C).
• The washer should never be installed or stored in a
location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage
to the water lines and internal mechanisms of the
washer can result. If the washer was exposed to
freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to
stand at room temperature for several hours before
use and check for leaks prior to operation.
