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.

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.
