Line Filter
The line fi lter helps to smooth out any fl uctuations in 
voltage, protecting the control board and providing 
more reliable operation. The line fi lter is installed on 
the interior side of the rear panel, and is located left  
of the water valve. 
To check the line fi lter, look for the outer surface 
to be burnt by heat or a power surge. The fi lter 
resistance should be approximately 0 Ω between 
the black (top) wire terminals and 0 Ω between the 
white (bottom) wire terminals.
To remove the line fi lter:
Remove the single black (top) and single white 
(bottom) wires.
Disconnect the wire harness by pressing the tab 
and pulling outward.
Press the locking tab and remove the ground 
wire.
