Connecting Inlet Hoses - GE Profile Dryers Use And Care Manual

Connecting Inlet Hoses

To produce steam, the dryer must connect to the cold water supply. Since the
washer must also connect to the cold water, a "Y" connector is inserted to allow
both inlet hoses to make that connection at the same time.
NOTE: Use the new inlet hoses provided; never use old hoses.
1. Turn the cold water faucet off. Remove the washer inlet hose from the washer
fill valve connector (cold).
2. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and screw the female coupling of
the short hose onto the washer fill valve connector. Tighten by hand until firmly
seated.
3. Attach the female end of the ''Y'' connector to the male coupling of the short
hose. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place. Tighten by hand until firmly
seated.
4. Insert the filter screen in the coupling of the washer's inlet hose. If a rubber
flat washer is already in place remove it before installing the filter screen. Attach
this coupling to one male end of the ''Y'' connector. Tighten by hand until firmly
seated.
5. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and attach the dryer's long inlet hose
to the other male end of the ''Y'' connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
6. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and attach the other end of the
dryer's long inlet hose to the fill valve connector at the bottom of the dryer back
panel. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an additional two–thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may result.
8. Turn the water faucet on.
9. Check for leaks around the ''Y'' connector, faucet and hose couplings.
