I just left mine turned off.

It is not a requirement but an extra measure to insure the hot water valve does not jar open and cause water damage. You can buy a plastic or brass water hose cap at Lowes or Home Depot for a few dollars. In my case if a leak were to occur behind my washer it would probably not be detected until major damage had occurred. It is just a choice!

Ahhhh! Thanks so much.

We were having trouble with the washing machine shaking the whole coach (2018 Cornerstone). The tech @ Entegra did a "reset" on it and like magic...no more shaking!!! I think this could work on other problems/ errors also. May not work on all Whirlpool washers, but worth a try.
If this does not reset your electrical system for your model, there is a way to reset ALL of them if you know the code.

1. Select the "Clean Washer" cycle.
2. Hit "start".
3. Hold the "Power" button for 4 seconds.
4. "res" will display.

Ours also shook the coach. We thought it was the "nature of the beast" or an out of balance load. We reset and I'm sure she'll run a couple of loads this evening and see if we get the same results.

Thanks

I joined the club!

We got tired of playing “washing machine slot machine”. Each time DW would do a load (about once a day fulltiming) we would wait like watching the slots in a Casino for the dreaded E06, or the door to remain locked, or no complete cycle. Finally....Arrggg

Had the RV in for service. Told the service guys to throw out the old washer. That thing weighs about 125lbs in an awkward position, so I paid for two bubbas to swap it out.

Another forum member recommended the 2 cu ft Electrolux. Ordered online via Home Depot. Arrived a week later. Wouldn’t fit in my RV. Two inches too deep. The other guy had a different floorplan. Mine is 2014 Anthem 44B. Returned....what a pain. Ordered a Splendide 129 via PPL Motorhome parts. Arrived a week later. Fits easy.

The Splendide was within $20 of the previous factory Whirlpool, delivered. It has basic controls....which we love. The cycling of power sources played havoc with that Whirlpool. DW likes the original Whirlpool dryer. It stacked fine on top of the Splendide.

This RV should’ve come with a Splendide.

X2 on Splendide and keeping Whirlpool dryer

X3 on Splendide as we did that same swap in our former 2014 Anthem 44b. Good news is that on our 2019 Cornerstone the new / improved Whirlpool washer seems to be operating without any issues.

We're going the 5090 route as well. I'm curious if any of you removed the toilet?

[royals1212]

Yes, we had to remove the toilet. On our model there was not enough room to lift the washer over the toilet.

If you have any questions on the removal send me a pm with your number.
