slide it over end as shown. Squeeze clamp with pliers and
slide black elbow end of drain hose onto black drain port and
secure with clamp.
For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to step 6.
For a floor drain, remove the pre-installed drain hose form as
shown in step 7. You may need additional parts with separate
directions. See the “Alternate Parts” section.

IMPORTANT: 4.5" (114 mm) of drain hose should be inside
standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on
bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used.
Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of

hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need
additional parts with separate directions. See “Tools and
Parts.”
It is the responsibility of the installer to install and secure the
drain hose into the provided plumbing/drain in a manner that
will avoid the drain hose coming out of and leaking from the
plumbing/drain.

Connect Inlet Hoses

with flat washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses.
NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water faucet, you
must use a Y-adapter (not provided).

8. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets

sealants on valve. Damage to the valves can result.
Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on washer. Use adjustable pliers to tighten

I am trying to get a users manual for my Whirlpool Model- WTW 5057LWO to print out. On line they show same papers already have- installation of it n booklet with couple of coupons.There is nothing to explain the dials, how much soap to use etc. I am VERY disappointed and frustrated!! Seems when you pay good money for a new appliance- at least the company should INCLUDE directions on how to use the appliance. I feel that this is very poor!! Can you please send me one?

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Whirlpool WTW5057LW below.

What temperature should I use for my laundry?

The washing label of your garment shows the recommended washing temperature.

Do I need to use an anti-scaling agent for my washing machine?

It is not necessary to use an anti-scaling agent. Scale deposits can be prevented by limiting washing at high temperatures and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

How do I prevent my washing machine from smelling?

Unpleasant odours can be avoided by occasionally washing at 60 degrees and using the recommended amount of detergent per wash.

Why is the washing machine not starting?

Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet and try pressing the "Start" button again. Also, ensure that the lid is closed properly, as the machine will not start if the lid is open.

Why is the water not filling the machine?

Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Additionally, inspect the water inlet hoses for any kinks or clogs that might be blocking water flow. It's recommended to use a cold water supply for optimal performance.

How do I adjust the water level for different load sizes?

To adjust the water level, simply rotate the "Load Size" selector knob to the desired setting. Larger load sizes may require higher water levels, while smaller loads can be washed with lower water levels. Remember to distribute the clothes evenly in the drum.

Why is the washing machine not draining properly?

First, ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. If the drain hose is clear, check if the drain pump filter is clogged with lint or debris. Clean the filter if necessary. Additionally, verify that the drain hose is installed correctly at the appropriate height, as incorrect positioning may impact draining.

How do I resolve excessive vibration during the spin cycle?

Check if the washer is level by adjusting the feet underneath. Make sure all four feet are in firm contact with the floor. Uneven load distribution can also cause excessive vibration, so try redistributing clothes inside the drum. Finally, avoid overloading the machine, as this can disrupt balance and result in increased vibration.
