Vacation, Storage, and Moving Care
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because
some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your
washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather,
winterize it.

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on
vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time,
you should:
■

Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid
unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while
you are away.

Slightly open door to provide ventilation.
