PS-I'd probably add some to the last rinse - enough to make a 50% concentration - and then let the pump drain it normally. What would be left in the sump and pump would be sufficient to guard against freezing damage (to the limit of the ability of the concentration of antifreeze). The trick will be knowing just how much water a last rinse contains. But you could always run the last rinse drain hose into a bucket and measure that. |

If yours has the button catcher or lint filter on the bottom right or left of the front,place a thirsty towel down in front of it and unscrew the filter. The water will be absorbed by the towel.Leave that open and place the filter in the washtub.leave the washer door open and that will keep any type of weather from effecting it in any way.

The correct antifreeze for washers is Marine Antifreeze. This is noted in all old Kenmore user manuals! Pah-Nol Non-Toxic Antifreeze CLICK HERE TO GO TO cleanteamofny's LINK |
