Should Flood Safe Devices be Used on a Washer?
Using Flood Safe Devices on a Whirlpool Washer
Anti-flood devices and controls
Whirlpool recommends that appliances be directly connected to the water supply for optimum machine performance.
However, if a "flood saver" device is being considered:
- Check with the device manufacturer to ensure it will not affect the appliance's performance.
- Whirlpool has experienced that "flood safety" devices can interfere with the appliance's performance.
There are two types of "flood-saver" devices, hoses and valves, which are illustrated below.
See your Owner's Manual for more information on connecting and installing your washer.
