Before testing~
It would be wise to first lay this on its back and give a good inspection to all wiring and connections (especially look for torn wiring insulation or any sign of cuts/splits which expose underlying wiring.
If that looks ok, be sure to check the tub underside and around the point where motor sits inside tub. You'll certainly see any obvious things like cracked / dry / split / leaky hoses or connections. Check the power wiring leads, too, before you attach power cord or the hardwire conduit from your house's power. If all looks well there, you can open up the control panel and check for same. Should you feel there are no issues with the above, get a pitcher full of HOT water and pour a few cups of it into the bottom of washer. Let it sit an hour or so--this will be of some help softening the seal if the machine has been sitting longer than you were told (it *could* be somewhat dry...maybe not). Should you have any unseen rust at the area where the water is...and it's bad, you'll see a leak onto your floor--this will either be from rust-through of the tank or a leaking motor seal. Now...if all's well there, I would personally be comfortable hooking up to power / water and go from there--using a quick rinse cycle as your first test. | ||

 Surely a power cord can be added. Connect the white, black, and ground same as a hard-wired installation. I bought an adapter some months ago to connect a dishwasher to a garden hose. Trick now is that I don't where I put it, paraphernalia is scattered all over around here. Anyway, got it at the local home supply (Sutherland's) in the faucet parts section. | ||

Thanks DADoES, I just want to know what I'm dealing with before taking out my current machine! | ||

Something like this... My local Home Depot sells a dishwasher connection kit. You can use something like this to connect it to a garden hose and then use the stainless hose for your permanent connection. While you're there pick up an appliance cord and connect it as Dadoes has said above. You can let it just drain onto the driveway. I've done this many times and it should work just fine for you. I don't blame you wanting to test it before installation. I think that's a smart move. CLICK HERE TO GO TO chachp's LINK | ||
