Will it damage the washing machine and tumble dryer to be left in a shed for storage

I have a Miele washing machine and tumble dryer, each worth around £600, that I bought last year.

I just moved houses and my new already has a washing machine and dryer.

Would it be safe to wrap and put my washing machine and dryer in a Plastic Keter shed in my garden for a few years, or could the cold weather in the non-insulated shed damage them?

(Another option is to put them in my storage loft, but that is a real mission!)

I hope this helps, I live on the coast in California where we get a good share of cold and wet weather.my washer and dryer are in a metal shed but I use them weekly. I would think if the units are drained,and off the ground (dirt) they should be fine. You me mentioned wrapping them I believe that be a great idea the only problem I see is if you have critters i.e. Rats squirrels I'm in the mountains and our little critters find places to live in wintertime
