Nonuse, Storage, and Moving Care

Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some
water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage your dryer. If
storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.
Nonuse or Storage Care
If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended
period of time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen."
3. Close shutoff valve in gas supply line.
4. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid
unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you
are away.
Moving Care
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Gas models only: Close shutoff valve in gas supply line.
3. Gas models only: Disconnect gas supply line pipe and remove
fittings attached to dryer pipe.
4. Gas models only: Cap the open gas supply line.
5. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet. Disconnect the
water inlet hose from faucet; then drain the hose. Transport
hose separately.
6. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
7. Use tape to secure dryer door.
8. On models with base trim, remove base trim before moving
dryer. See "Install and remove base trim (on some models)"
for details.
