Do I drain my washing machine pump for long term winter storage?

Home Improvement Asked on January 16, 2021

I’m putting my washing machine into storage for 10+ months in a garage that is not insulated and will experience sub-freezing temperatures for multiple months.

The question is: should I drain the pump of all the water or not?

I think I do because I don’t want the water freezing.

However, I wasn’t sure if I needed to intentionally leave some water in to keep parts moist /lubricated. (I think that’s the case with some dishwasher seals if I recall).

One Answer

IF you can drain it of all water, that would be good. Since this is often difficult, or requires major disassembly to achieve with any confidence, non-toxic RV antifreeze is another option to prevent damage.
