My beloved 2003 TOL Whirlpool Gold top load washer is going into storage for my sister to use when they build their house...which will be 1 to 2 years. Any pointers other than to do a "clean cycle" and make sure that it is dry? Gotta make way for my new Speed Queen set that is coming next week for the house.

Dan -
Is the washer going to be exposed to freezing temps? If so, be sure the mixing valve is drained, and water is out of the pump. If that is not a concern, then you're probably fine just packing it away. I think the suggestion of lowering the drain hose is good though - it will allow most of the excess water to drain out and not mildew later, etc. So what are you getting new? Gordon | ||

Do not drain washer completely before storing because the seals in the pump will dry rot. It is recommended to use RV Antifreeze, use more or less 1-2 quarts and run the last two minuets of a spin cycle to mix water and RV antifreeze to protect the pump from drying out and seizing.
