My WP Cabrio is going back to Rent A Center, and I will be going back to my Maytag 606, which has been on my screened in front porch.

How long should I wait before using it. The water was completely drained from it when I put out there. I'm hoping she will still run.
 
I'd wait at least 24 hours at regular room temperature, Jim, then pour in a couple of buckets of very hot water to soften the seals and gaskets.   That poor old A206 I once had was found sitting in a barn (and had been there for years!) and responded kindly to this treatment. 

Hope it still works!! 
 
I can't use her right away, forgot she needs a new drain hose. The hose that was on cracked every time I tried to attach it to the pump.
 
Washer is working fine, but can't dry anything for a little, the plastic vent hose for my dryer broke in about four places when I pullued the dryer out, I didn't realize how brittle it had become.
