Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or 

not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:
1.  Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2.  Turn off water supply to washer to avoid flooding due  

to water pressure surges.

3.  Clean the dispenser. See “Cleaning the Dispenser.”

 To avoid damage, install and store washer 

where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in 

hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving 

during freezing weather, winterize your washer.

1.  Shut off both water faucets, disconnect and drain water 

inlet hoses.

2.  Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in washer drum and  

run washer on NORMAL cycle for about 2 minutes to mix 

antifreeze and remaining water.

3.  Unplug washer or disconnect power.

1.  Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water 

inlet hoses.

WINTER STORAGE CARE directions before moving.

of washer.

4.  Unplug power cord.
5.  Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer drum.

it from hanging onto the ground.

Do not reuse transport bolts. Washer must be transported 

in the upright position. To avoid structural damage to your 

washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by a certified 

technician.
