Getting ready in a few weeks to winterize the Alpine. My question is how to winterize the Splendide 2100xc washer/dryer? The rest of the rv is a piece of cake. We added the washer this spring and need to winterize soon.

this may be a dumb reply as i do not have a washer and i all ways have dumb thoughts. i would think that if you turned the washer on with hot and cold till the pink stuff started to fill the drum. the switch it our to the drain and spin cylce. good luck:banghead:

This is straight from the Splendide website: (Google is your friend):

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!
