hot and cold valves location for washer/dryer

[rayan]

Hello all i am new to this forum and i must say it great. Lots of info but i can't seem to find anything about the location for the hot and cold valves for the washer and dryer combo (spindle). Thanks in advance

Coaches vary... Mine is plumbed for washer/dryer but not installed. If I had had it installed (I have storage instead) the valves would be right where I'd expect to find 'em based on a home washing machine.. Behind them, on the wall, about eye level.

Welcome rayan to irv2.
A washer dryer option would be in a large warddrobe closet mid coach or in rear bedroom.
If it was a option it would have to be requested by who ever ordered coach.
Your WD would be in the bathroom look for a panel in bathroom wall backed to kitchen, the faucets maybe behind it.

Thank you 007, the combo unit is in fact in the bathroom behind a closet. Looked on the oppisite wll which is the kitchen and there is another cabinet with glass shelves but dosent appear to have a panel access. There are a couple of panel access in the bathroom now that you have brought that to my attention i will have to investigate.Just trying to winterize the combo unit. Thanks this is a new to me unit and the manual i got is let's say lacking details.

Well checked out the two access panels in the bathroom and neither one had valves in them.

Mine are in a storage bay by my pump. I don't understand it but that is were they are.

Be nice to have access to them, but you really don't need the valves if you follow the winterizing directions in the manual.

i taught you did if you only blow air in. I am leaning that way as it dosent get that cold here. Did that with my fifth wheel for 3 years and no issue. This coach is new to me and as previouls ststed the owners manual is lacking details.

Here is some information on winterizing.

Is your coach just plumbed for a W/D or does it actually have a W/D?

It has a washer and dryer in the bathroom.

Ok, you need to get the pink stuff through both the hot & cold lines to the W/D & then out so you displace any water in the exiting P-trap.

If it's a Splendide W/D combo, it's rather tempermental. Do not advance the dial through the steps without doing a reset sequence between or it screws up the circuit board. Here's what I do:

1. Make sure 0 (zero) is set for the drying time
2. Select HOT on the water temp dial
3. Advance the cycle dial to any REGULAR or EXPRESS wash setting
4. Close the door & press the On/Off button to turn on the machine
5. Let enough anti-freeze come though until you see it puddling in the drum bottom
6. Press the On/Off button to turn off the machine
7. Advance the cycle dial to any RESET setting
8. Press the On/Off button to turn the machine on
9. The Status light will flash rapidly. When the flashing slows, you can continue
10. Press the On/Off button to turn off the machine
11. Advance the cycle dial to any Spin setting. The machine will suck out the anti-freeze in the drum
12. Repeat steps 6-10

Do the same for the cold line starting with Step 2, selecting the COLD setting.

One year I selected WARM as the temp setting, figuring anti-freeze would come through both lines at the same time, thus eliminating 1 whole series of steps. But, afterwards, when I looked at the supply lines in the water bay, I noticed the hot line was "pinker" than the cold. It appeared more anti-freeze went through the hot line than the cold so I began doing each line separately for peace of mind.

IN my 2005 DP the actual hose connections are in the closet in the bathroom. You have to lift up the bottom shelf of the cabinet in the bathroom and the backend of the W/D are in there...hope this helps...

Here are the instructions i found at splendide web site.
Just can't locate the valves

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!
