Water, Power and Safety First
Always install new inlet hoses rather than reusing old ones, check them from time to time, and replace any hose that shows bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions
Unplug the washer before servicing or cleaning it; pressing the power button does not disconnect it from the electrical supply. Source: GE Appliances - Washer Owner's Manual
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
