What we do here in the same freezing climate where it is -12 now with wind chill to -35 is use RV antifreeze in drains and in the bottom of a washer and dishwasher, set to drain and shut off quickly as long as you know it went thru to the pump. Run hot water thru first thing in the spring and you're good to go. But let that 612 warm up good before you even think of starting it. There will always be extra water as any washer with the drain hose from the top has a siphon break.
