Winterize Spendide?

[bob n pam]

Well, we've put the old girl in storage (Betty Big Sky, not me!) and I couldn't find anything in the manual about winterizing the Splendide washer. We have winterized the rest of the rig, but not the washer. Anyone know if we should do this, and if so, how.

Thanks!

Pam,
Yes, yes and yes, it has to be winterized. Takes about five minutes and a gallon or so of pink stuff through the winterizing intake in the convenience center with the fresh water pump turned on. Cycle the hot until pink is in the drum, then spin out, then repeat for the cold. There are different directions for different models. The manuals are available on the Splendide.com website if the instruction link that John provided does not match the controls on your model.

I have VERY reliable power, so I put a 60 watt light in the tub...been doing that for years.

In the south, likely not a problem. But if I lived very far north, I would be concerned about the water lines to the washer freezing.
Even though I live in N TX where temps don't often drop below 15F and rarely stay below freezing longer than a day or two, I do pump antifreeze thru both water lines per the Splendide instructions.

Thanks so much. It's been so hectic moving into a house, cleaning out the rig, buying furniture and so on that I let this get by me. I really appreciate the help.
