How to Winterize your Washer
If the Washer is stored in an area where freezing can occur or
moved into freezing temperatures, follow these winterizing
instructions to prevent damage to your washer.
Turn off water supply faucets.
Disconnect the hoses from the water supply and drain the water
from the hoses.
Plug the electrical cord into a properly grounded electrical
outlet.
Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze
into the empty wash tub. Close the Lid
Set the cycle selector knob at a spin spin setting. Start the
spin cycle and let the washer spin for about 1 minute, long enough
to drain out all the water. Not all of the RV antifreeze will be
expelled.
Stop the spin cycle. Now dry the interior wash tub and close the
door. Unplug the power cord.
Store the washer in an upright position.
To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage, run the
empty washer through a complete cycle using detergent. Do not add
clothes to the washer until you have run a complete empty cycle
first.
That's it.
