Water inlet and connecting hose will leak water during removal — lay towel on floor
When removing the water inlet valve, water remaining in the water inlet and connecting hose will come out. Always lay a towel on the floor to absorb any water that may come out. Be careful when removing the clamps because the connecting hose is easily damaged.
Thermistor, drain pump, and turbidity sensor all have seals — ensure proper seating
The thermistor, pump-drain, and sensor-turbidity each have a seal. When reinstalling these components, ensure the seal is properly seated to prevent water leakage. A misaligned seal is a common cause of post-service leaks.
