What to do with Hot water line to washer?

[Jtrving]

During our walkthrough I noticed that we have a washer that has only a cold hookup (I guess washer heats the water), but there is a second, hot water line plumbed into the coach which is full of antifreeze.

My question is: do I leave it indefinitely - is there any potential harm to the line as the antifreeze ages? I would prefer to just leave the antifreeze in there and never worry about it again.

Unless you can completely isolate that section of hot water line with a valve, the anti-freeze will eventually contaminate the rest of your water system.

this doesn't seem correct to me.....

i think you have hot and cold water lines to the washer.....

i would ask newmar directly.....

The new washer has it's own heater. When I got a replacement under Whirlpool warranty, the new model only has a cold water line.
Maybe you could slightly open the hot water valve when you drain the lines when de-winterizing and a sufficient amount would drain from the line?
To insure complete rinse, you could attach a water hose to the hot side and rinse it?

Is the valve accessible from under the sink? If so, put a short hose on the valve to flush out the anti freeze in the spring and again to winterize it.
