How do I prepare my WFW86HEBC1 washer for winter storage or an extended period of non-use?
Shut off both water faucets, disconnect and drain the water inlet hoses, then put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the washer drum and run it on the NORMAL cycle for about two minutes to mix the antifreeze with remaining water. After that, unplug the washer or disconnect power. When reinstalling after storage, run the washer through a HEAVY DUTY cycle with half the recommended amount of HE detergent to clean the washer and remove the antifreeze. (Page 15)
