Default no problem

I do similar to Steveo. I've had a Maytag Neptune clothes washer and a Kenmore dishwasher at our place, both going strong after 13 years. Only once did the dishwasher inlet valve freeze when I failed to disconnect the hose at the dishwasher end and run it through a few seconds of fill cycle. I also add a quart or so of non-toxic antifreeze into the tub and run it on a drain cycle until no water enters the sink drain. For the clothes washer, I raise it on 4x4 blocks and lower the drain hose in the back to the floor to drain after disconnecting the feed hoses and running the machine on a fill and drain cycle for a few seconds.
