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

What Alpine Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Alpine come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, ยง1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
