Draining the Remaining Condensed Water

After drying clothes, a small quantity of condensed water may sit in the base of the appliance and cause odors. Drain the remaining water regularly to reduce any unpleasant odors from the appliance.

Note
  • It's better to drain the remaining water when you are going to be away for a long time, because the remaining water will stagnate and cause odors.

  • For best results, drain the remaining water before running Drum Care.

  • The remaining water can freeze inside the main drain hose(s) and affect the drying performance in cold weather. Draining the remaining water can prevent damage to the appliance from unexpected freezing.
