winterizing splendide 2100xc

[Ronnelly]

This will be my first year to winterize the spendide 2100xc. Need suggestion of how it is done for this washer. Thanks for your help.

Full instructions are in the manual. If you have lost or misplaced the manual, it can be downloaded at Splendide.com. It is a simple process.

I have to keep the instructions around because I forget every year, but the instructions really save a lot of time. They tell you how to shortcut the cycle by timing it out, allowing you to fill and drain on hot and then cold using about 1/2 to 1 gal of antifreeze and about 10 minutes.

De-winterizing is my favorite part - usually because its associated with me being on vacation.

I got this of the Splendide.com website:


Winterization: How To: If needed, follow these steps to winterize your washer-dryer.


1. With the machine power OFF, pour ½ quart of RV-type antifreeze into the washer drum


2. Close the door. Advance the Program Selector knob to a SPIN position


3. Press ON/OFF Button (IN). Wait 1-2 minutes


4. Press ON/OFF Button (OUT). Unplug the washer-dryer from the electrical outlet (or disconnect power)


5. Turn the water supply faucets OFF. Disconnect the inlet hoses from the faucets. Drain any remaining water from the hoses. Finished!



Optional RV Winterization: If you’re currently pumping antifreeze through the fresh water system, follow these steps to winterize:

1. With the machine power OFF, turn the WASH TEMP knob to HOT
2. Advance the Program Selector knob to REGULAR in Cotton Heavy Duty
3. Press the ON/OFF button (IN) and let the machine fill until antifreeze is in the drum
4. Advance Program Selector to a RESET. Wait 5 seconds (Status/Door Lock LED will blink)
5. Advance Program Selector to a SPIN position. Let the antifreeze drain from the drum
6. Advance Program Selector to RESET. Wait 5 seconds (Status/Door Lock LED will blink)


7. Turn the WASH TEMP knob to COLD


8. Advance the Program Selector knob to REGULAR in Cotton Heavy Duty


9. Let the machine fill until you see antifreeze in the drum


10. Advance the Program Selector knob to RESET. Wait 5 seconds (Status/Door Lock LED will blink)


11. Advance the Program Selector knob to SPIN. Let the antifreeze drain from the drum


12. Press the ON/OFF button (OUT). Finished!



To use again: Flush the water pipes, then


1. Reconnect the water inlet hoses to the corresponding HOT/COLD faucets. Turn the faucets ON. (NOTE: Check the water inlet hoses and pump periodically. Refer to the “Use & Care Guide” that came with the machine)


2. Plug the washer-dryer into an appropriate electrical outlet (or reconnect power supply)


3. With the ON/OFF button in the off (OUT) position, pour 1/2 TBSP. of powder detergent (or liquid equiv.) into the ‘Detergent’ compartment inside the Dispenser Drawer


4. Advance the Program Selector knob to an EXPRESS cycle


5. Press the ON/OFF button (IN) and allow the machine to run through the complete cycle to clean out any remaining antifreeze. Finished!

Yep - I use the optional set of instructions because I can't get to the valves easily on these stacked units. I just do the wash machine along with all the other pipes.

Ditto Brad, I cut a piece of hose that I use to suck the pink stuff in from the convenience panel. The optional way takes a little longer but it also protects the inlet hoses since I cannot reach them in the 3400 anyway.

Same here. I can't get to the hoses on my 3075RL even with the combo unit.
