Storing Your Dishwasher - Whirlpool 910 Series Use And Care Manual

CARING FOR YOUR DISHWASHER

Storing your dishwasher

Storing for the summer
Protect your dishwasher during the summer
months by turning off the water supply and
power supply to the dishwasher.
Moving or winterizing your
dishwasher
Protect your dishwasher and home against
water damage due to freezing water lines.
If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal
dwelling or could be exposed to near
freezing temperatures, have a qualified
person do the following:
1. Disconnect power or unplug
dishwasher.
2. Turn off water supply to the dishwasher.
3. Remove the 4 screws on the lower
access panel and remove the lower
access panel.
4. Place a shallow pan under the water
supply valve. Then, use a wrench to
disconnect the water inlet from the
water supply valve. Separate the water
inlet from the water supply valve and
drain water into the pan.
5. Remove the spring clamp from the
water outlet and separate from the
water supply valve; drain water into
pan.
6. Reconnect both water inlet and water
outlet to the water supply valve.
7. Empty the pan and reposition it under
the water pump.
8. Remove the clamp and disconnect the
drain hose from the water pump; drain
water into pan.
9. Reconnect drain hose to the water
pump, being sure to position the clamp
over the connection.
10. Replace the lower access panel.
NOTE: If your dishwasher is connected to
a garbage disposal, do not run water into
the sink after winterizing. This could cause
water to refill the drain hose on your
dishwasher.
