Don't you know anything about plumbing? Installing a washing machine is quite simple and will take about half an hour. Here's how to do it

Steps

  1. 1 Get rid of the packing material and staples that the washing machine was in. This was all very useful for the safety of the car during delivery, but now you do not need it.
  2. 2 Check for instructions before taking out the trash. It should be with the car.
  3. 3 Dispose of your old car. If you have an old car that needs to be disposed of, recycle it.
  4. 4 Connect the water. Washing machines are equipped with a PVC hose that connects the water inlet on the back of the machine to a special valve on the sanitary ware.
    • The hoses are color coded red for hot and blue for cold water. Please note that newer washing machines only have a cold water inlet.
  5. 5 Make sure the valve is off.
  6. 6 Connect the hose by screwing it onto the valve. Make sure everything is tight and secure before turning on the valve.
  7. 7 Connect the drain system. The water drain from the washing machine must be connected to the sewer system.
    • Stand-up pipe and elbow are the standard method. The water drain hose from the machine is loosely connected to the pipe so that dirty water is not sucked back into the machine.
  8. 8The joint must be at least 60 centimeters above the floor.

Tips

  • The washing machine has special pins so that the drum is not damaged during transportation. They must be removed before using the machine, otherwise you may break it. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Always read the instructions before use, as some machines have very sensitive electronics, so it's worth learning all the details.
  • Remember to turn on the water supply before using the machine.
  • Teflon tape is very good at eliminating small leaks in pipes.
