Thank you. Just got new washing machine delivered and I installed it all on my own. I’ve never installed any big appliance before. I am a little proud of myself 😂😂😁😁

Just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. Mine broke down and was too expensive to repair so ordered another one. As a single mum of 4, even working full time, I could not afford to pay the extra £45 for install. Waitjng two weeks, it arrived today. Using your video, I disconnected my old one and reinstalled my new one. My first wash in on and is working fine. Many thanks 😁

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

If you have a solid floor, like yours, spraying some soapy water or furniture polish on the floor will make sliding the machine in much easier, also a bit of soap on the spigot will help the hose slide on easier. 😊

I've fitted more washing machines than I can remember. At least 20 a week for 10 years. There's another fitting scenario. Connections can also be in the cupboard under the sink. That means the machine has to be partially under the counter whilst threading the pipes through the hole in the side of the cupboard or in the gap between the counter underside and the cupboard side top edge. I always used fairy liquid,or similar, as its by far the best lubricant especially on lino floors which rip oh so easily.

Just got mine fitted, no issues. Thanks for ur instructions. Ps maybe tell people to check instructions in case the manufacturer advises you do a first run without clothes at a high heat with detergent to give the machine a bit of a run & clean itself before u use it for normal washing. My instructions manual recommend it but I’d already put a load of washing in it 😅

One thing you forgot to mention and the most important after removing the packaging and before removing the Transportation Bolts is a "Drum inspection", to make sure the Drum hasn't been damaged by the Supplier. Then after removing the Transportation Bolts, is a "Drum spin and sound test". Simple test to see if it spins and makes it's usual sound as it should by hand, before even doing anything else.

Excellent tutorial video. Our GE washing machine was installed 5 months ago. This was taken out from our laundry room due to damage from a water leak. I spotted 4 holes at the back of the machine. I saw your video today. Transportation valves were not there and caps were not provided. My question. Is it fine to leave the holes open or can I tape the holes? Washer might be installed back maybe in 2 days.

Nice and simple, great video. I have a small problem with my machine, when it expels the dirty water it wells up in the sink (not much but enough and it smells). I'm presuming the waste pipe to outside is partly clogged. Is it worthg me gettting a right angled waste connector, my waste pipe (from the machine) is set to be higher than the point it connects to, but would the right angled help a bit more?
