It is important to follow the correct steps to ensure your appliances work perfectly after taking them out of your storage unit in Panama, preventing damage and bad odors.
Preparing washers and dryers
For washers, run a hot cycle with white vinegar and leave the door open to fully dry the tub. Disconnect hoses, drain them, and clean the exterior thoroughly. For dryers, disconnect the power or gas supply carefully and clean out the lint filter completely.
PRO Tip: Immobilize the drum
When moving your washer or dryer, use towels or blankets to pack the area around the drum, preventing sudden movements that could damage internal components during transit.
Preparing dishwashers
Run a deep wash using baking soda and a bit of bleach, cleaning the filters well. It’s vital to drain all excess water and leave the door open for several days to prevent mold and moisture buildup while in storage.
