Reinstalling the Dryer Follow the Installation Instructions to locate, level, and connect the dryer. Special Instructions for Steam Models 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. Water inlet hose Replace inlet hose and hose screen after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hose if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found. When replacing your inlet hose, record the date of replacement.
