ITORING THE CLOTHES WASHER
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses
and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer
for storage as follows:
• Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the
automatic dispenser. Run the washer through the cycle
without a load.
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
Disconnect the clothes washer from the electrical
supply and leave the washer door open to let air
circulate inside the tumbler.
If the washer has been stored in below-freezing
temperatures, allow time for any water left over in the
washer to thaw out before use.
For information on long-term storage or storage of your
washer during extreme cold temperatures,
call Customer Service toll-free at
