11. Remove three 13mm hex head bolts and
flat washers that secure the drain valve to
the washer. These bolts screw into rivet
nuts that are secured to the mounting tabs
in the washer.
12. Pull the drain valve out of the washer.
TECH TIP: Inside the drain valve is a
rotating diverter. The drain valve motor
rotates the diverter to close the drain valve
inlet, at the top, before the washer goes
into fill. If power is lost, the drain valve will
open automatically because the motor must
be powered to keep the drain valve closed.
The diverter presses against the seal at the
top of the drain valve to keep water in the
tub. Foreign objects can get stuck between
the seal and diverter keeping the diverter
from sealing properly. This can cause water
related error codes, like long fill, because
the water is draining continuously.
9. Loosen the worm gear clamp securing the
main drain hose to the pump outlet. Pull the
hose off the outlet.
TECH TIP: Worm gear clamps can be
removed with a Phillips or flat blade
screwdriver or a 7mm hex head socket.
10. Loosen the worm gear clamp securing the
tub drain hose to the pump inlet. Pull the
hose off the inlet.
NOTE: The drain hose exits out the back of
washer through a T fitting. The vertical hose
attached to top of T fitting is the vent hose
which is also the overflow hose for washer.
