Ask the service technician to remove water 

from drain pump and hoses. Do not store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

PTW905 and PTW900 models only: 

Do not move the washer with a full tank of detergent. If moving the washer with a partially filled 

tank of detergent, do not tilt washer forward as detergent could spill from tank. If moving the washer will result in tipping the washer 

forward in any way, it is best to flush out your detergent tank. See 

Detergent Tank Clean-Out 

in this 

Care and Cleaning

 section.

Moving and Storage

Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses and water filter pump area if weather will be below freezing.

Long Vacations

Flex Dispense Drawer 

After some period of use, a small amount of detergent or softener 

residue may be present in the Flex Dispenser Drawer. The drawer 
can easily be removed for cleaning. To remove the drawer, pull it 

out until the drawer stops, lift up the back of the drawer on both 

sides and pull it out. The drawer can then be removed from the 
dispenser box. Wash the drawer in warm, soapy water using a 

mild detergent. Rinse drawer with warm water. If siphon caps are 

removed for cleaning, be sure to push siphon caps fully back into 
place after cleaning.
The dispenser drawer and siphon caps are not dishwasher 

safe. The dispenser box is not removable, but it can be wiped 

clean using a damp cloth if necessary. Do not attempt to 
remove the dispenser box for cleaning.

Pull out to stop

Lift back up on both sides

Pull out

Water Supply Hoses

Periodically inspect all water inlet hoses for water leaks, wear, cuts, corrosion, and bulges. Replace all hoses immediately if any sign 
of these failures appear. All hoses should be replaced every 5 years of use to reduce risk of hose failures and possible water 
damage. When replacing hoses, refer to the Installation Instructions for proper installation. DO NOT overtighten or cross thread 
fittings. DO NOT allow the hose to rub against sharp objects, become kinked, or become over stretched. Always ensure hose 
rubber gaskets are installed and free from leaks when pressurized.
