Winterizing the Washer!

[wish2fish]

This is for a friend. I don't have a washer on the 220!:grin:

Just wondering how you winterize the on board clothes washer? It seems there is some water left in the washer so how do you get it all out?

If you’re currently pumping antifreeze through the fresh water system, follow these steps to winterize:

1. With the machine power OFF, turn the WASH TEMP knob to HOT

2. Advance the Program Selector knob to REGULAR in Cotton Heavy Duty

3. Press the ON/OFF button (IN) and let the machine fill until antifreeze is in the drum

4. Advance Program Selector to a RESET. Wait 5 seconds (Status/Door Lock LED will blink)

5. Advance Program Selector to a SPIN position. Let the antifreeze drain from the drum

6. Advance Program Selector to RESET. Wait 5 seconds (Status/Door Lock LED will blink)

7. Turn the WASH TEMP knob to COLD

8. Advance the Program Selector knob to REGULAR in Cotton Heavy Duty

9. Let the machine fill until you see antifreeze in the drum

10. Advance the Program Selector knob to RESET. Wait 5 seconds (Status/Door Lock LED will blink)

11. Advance the Program Selector knob to SPIN. Let the antifreeze drain from the drum

12. Press the ON/OFF button (OUT). Finished!

wow... what a process! my head is spinning.

I just run a full cycle (with no drying cycle) on "warm", which by my simpleton math is a combo of "hot" and "cold" after I have pink stuff in the water tank. Yes, it takes a full cycle time but I do it while I'm doing other things... like waiting for the icemaker to make pink slushies.

It has worked so far, but that was only one winter.
