Preventing a Frozen Water Supply Hose
If your washing machine is delivered in freezing weather conditions, leave it
at room temperature for 24 hours after you’ve set it up before using it. This
ensures there’s no ice blocking the water supply hose. If your water supply
hose freezes, add 2 or 3 litres of warm water to the drum. Then run a “Drain”
only programme.
