Leaks and Safe Shutoff
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
