If Your Washer Is Leaking
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
Plug the washer into a grounded three-prong outlet on a 15- or 20-amp 120-volt circuit, and never remove the ground prong or use an adapter or extension cord. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions
To prevent siphoning, Whirlpool's instructions limit the drain hose to no more than 8 inches inside a standpipe that is at least 2 inches across and 39 to 96 inches tall, measured from the bottom of the washer. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions
