If you need to install a washing machine, you’re in the right place.
In this guide, we will give you step-by-step instructions for how to remove the old washing machine and then install the new one.
Installing a washing machine is thankfully a straightforward job – especially if you have all the correct plumbing in place already. If you don’t have the correct plumbing set up, you’ll need to get a qualified plumber to make adjustments before you install your new washing machine.
Let’s get started.
Before you can install your new washing machine, you’ll need to remove the old one (if you don’t have an old washer to remove, skip to step 2).
Here’s how to remove the old washing machine:
Now that the old washing machine has been successfully removed, the next step is to get your new washing machine ready before you install it.
To do this, you need to:
The next step is to connect the water hoses. Your new washing machine should’ve come with new hoses, which are most likely the same as the old ones.
Here’s how to connect the water hoses:
Once the water pipes are connected, the drain hose can now be connected. Depending on your plumbing setup, you might run the drainpipe from the washing machine into a sink, or it might be connected to a drain.
To connect the drain hose:
Now that the hoses are all connected, you can plug the washing machine into the power socket and turn it on to test if it works. If the washer machine is working you can proceed to the next step.
Once the washing machine is all connected, you can push the washing machine into place. If it’s going into a cabinet above ground level or if you have a drain pan underneath the washing machine, you’ll need help from a friend or family member to lift the washing machine.
The final step is to check that the washing machine is sitting level on the floor. You can do this by placing a bubble level on the top of the washing machine and checking if it’s level. If not, adjust the washing machine legs until it is.
You should now be good to go to use your new washing machine!
