Closing the washer's water faucets when the machine is not in use takes pressure off the hoses and valves and limits flooding if a hose gives way. Source: GE Appliances - Washer Owner's Manual
Manufacturers require the washer to be electrically grounded and warn against using an extension cord or modifying the plug. Source: Maytag - High-Efficiency Washer Installation Instructions
Do not make an airtight seal between the drain hose and the standpipe or restrict the hose; standpipe height limits vary by model (Maytag's high-efficiency guide allows 18 to 96 inches). Source: Maytag - High-Efficiency Washer Installation Instructions
