“I am planning to have this washer (and the corresponding dryer) in an uninsulated room (water lines will be insulated, but temperature of the room will be variable throughout the year). Will this affect the functioning of the units?”

If there's ANY chance the room may get below freezing, I would be *extremely* concerned about water freezing somewhere. Because there is zero insulation inside the washing machine, the entire appliance would be subjected to those cold conditions. I wouldn't locate anything that uses water in a location that might get below freezing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are storing your washing machine and dryer in an unheated location like a basement or garage or you are relocating from your summer home for the winter season, you want to protect your appliances to ensure they are not exposed to below freezing temperatures. Washing machines have residual water in the pump and hoses that may freeze and damage your pipes in cold weather. As water freezes it expands, damaging the pipes in your home and unit. Keep in mind your warranty is invalidated if your washer is exposed to below freezing temperatures without protecting your unit. Taking some precautions to winterize your washing machine will prevent damage and optimize performance.
