Storing the Washer

If the washer will not be used for an extended period and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing temperatures, follow these steps to protect the washer from damage.

• Turn off the washer, and unplug the power cord.

• Turn off the water faucets.

• Disconnect the water inlet hoses. Drain any water from the hoses.

  

• Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

• Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze to the empty drum and close the door.

  • Never use automotive antifreeze.

• Turn on the washer and press the Spin button.

• Press the Start/Pause button to start the drain pump for 1 minute.

  • This will expel some of the antifreeze, leaving enough to protect the washer from damage.

• Turn off the washer and unplug the power cord.

• Dry the drum interior with a soft cloth, and close the door.

• Store the washer in an upright position.

• Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain any water in the compartments and let them dry.

• To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage, run the Rinse+Spin cycle using detergent.

  • Do not add laundry to this cycle.
