Use the manufacturer's stated installation environment for the exact model. A laundry appliance is not automatically suitable for every garage, shed or unheated room.
Understanding this situation
Cold conditions can raise concerns about water remaining in hoses and the appliance, while humidity and unsuitable electrical arrangements add separate issues. The fact that a previous machine worked there does not establish suitability for the current one.
A useful next step
Check the manual and seek appropriate advice before continued use in an environment outside its limits. If freezing or water damage is suspected, leave the machine unused rather than testing it with a hot wash. Report the location and recent conditions clearly.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
