Cold Storage and Non-Use Periods
Cold Weather Care
If washer is delivered when outside temperature is
below freezing, or if washer is stored in unheated room
or area during cold months, do not operate until
washer has warmed to room temperature. Do not
install or operate washer where temperatures will
drop below freezing.
Cold Weather Storage
If washer must be stored in seasonal home or storage
building, use one of the following storage methods.
METHOD 1
1. Turn off water supply faucets and disconnect
hoses. Drain water from both hoses.
2. Add one gallon of non-toxic RV antifreeze
(available from hardware or recreational vehicle
dealers) to washer tub.
3. Push in cycle selector knob and turn to SPIN.
4. Pull knob out and let washer spin for 1–2 minutes
to drain water. Some antifreeze will also be lost.
(If you have a septic system, contact antifreeze
manufacturer and make sure it will not harm
system.)
5. Push in cycle selector knob to stop washer. Dry
inner wash tub, disconnect electrical plug, and
close washer lid. If moving washer, disconnect
drain hose. Move and store washer ONLY in
upright position.
To remove antifreeze after storage, run washer through
a complete cycle using ½ cup of detergent. DO NOT
ADD CLOTHES TO CYCLE.
METHOD 2
1. Push in cycle selector knob and turn to SPIN. Run
through complete spin cycle to remove excess
water.
2. When spin cycle is complete, push in cycle
selector knob to stop washer.
3. Turn off water supply faucets and disconnect
hoses. Drain water from both hoses.
4. Dry inner wash tub, disconnect electrical plug, and
close washer lid. If moving washer, disconnect
drain hose. Move and store washer ONLY in
upright position.
5. It is normal for some water to remain inside pump.
To prevent damage to washer and pump if
remaining water freezes, allow washer to warm to
24 to 48 hours after removing from storage, so
water can thaw before use.
Vacations and Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage
from flooding, turn off water supply to washer
during extended periods of non-use.
To prevent mold or mildew, leave lid open so
moisture inside machine can evaporate.
When closing your home for extended periods,
have service technician drain washer to avoid
stagnant water. Unplug cord from electrical outlet.
Disconnect hoses from faucets.
