REPLACING THE BOOT
AND DOOR SWITCH
When replacing the boot and washer front
panel, special care must be taken to assure
a proper water seal and operation.
Carefully pull the nozzle from the window
washer tube. Separate the plastic gasket ring
from the nozzle.lnsert the nozzle through the
hole in the boot and slide the plastic gasket
ring down the shaft of the nozzle so that the
boot is securely trapped between the gasket
ring and the nozzle ridge. Insert the nozzle
shaft into the window washer inlet tube and
insert the end of the water inlet tube into the
boot.
Fit the boot around the front lip of the tub so it
rests smoothly and evenly. Fit the boot clamp
around the front lip of the tub and tighten the
screw. Be careful not to over tighten this
screw Damage to the boot clamp or the boot
could occur.
When reinstalling
the door switch, be sure to
insert the two tabs on the right side of the
switch assembly into the slots in the plastic
wiring harness guide. Failure to do this will
result in unwanted noise while the machine
operates.
