How to Install a Washing Machine Like a Pro - Plumbing DIY

[@adrianna1289]

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 😂😂😁😁

[@AB-vh7tw]

Me too. I'm as pleased as Punch.😊

[@djpanda3620]

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 😁

[@kimsim6757]

Way to go mama❤

[@JohnKirk-y4u]

An excellent, well presented and clear run through over everything involved in installing a washing machine

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks

[@fredy417]

I’m a appliance engineer and over the years I have seen so many broken machines where the customer forgot to remove the transit bolts good demonstration 👍

[@christopher9727]

Don't follow the worldly trends follow Jesus Christ today There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 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

[@mikewlm]

Not just the customers! Last time I got a washing machine I had it professionally installed and they forgot about the transit bolts 🙈 Hence this time checking out vids like this so I can do it myself. 😅

[@penguinproductions7014]

Thanks for the tip 👍

[@thebluebeyond2329]

I think this is the same reason ours is spinning and making demon noises.

[@mantasriauka1035]

You did the “how” AND the “why”! Loved it.

[@helninny2776]

Omg - just fixed my 'draining' issue by watching your video. The connections were not good, thanks to the shoddy work by my handyman. Thank you, thank you, it's all perfect now. Like previous person, as a female, it was great not having to call a plumber out! I'm chuffed to bits!😁😄

[@AbbyGray1]

I'm glad i watched this video. I had never heard of an "air wedge" or wind-bag. I now have one on the way. Thanks.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad I could help!

[@CurtisLodge1991]

Second that!

[@AB-vh7tw]

I've heard of a windbag but not in this context 😂

[@nahassan2000]

Thank you so much, I was about to operate mine with transit bolts still connected. Thank you, Now I did it like a Pro!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad it helped

[@KorahMoalusi]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING VIDEOS SINCE LAST NIGHT, AND NONE OF THEM DEMOSTRATED THE INSTALATION PROCESS THIS GOOD!!!

[@WeAreFridaysChildren]

Thank you thank you thank you! This has been the best demonstration and explanation video I’ve seen on here. I’ve managed to save myself £30 so thank you!!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad to help

[@stephenjames6534]

Another well explained clear video like always, your videos always appreciated. I have a set of those airbags (lidls middle aisle) and used them for so many diy jobs, well worth having in your tool collection

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks. Absolutely! 👍

[@Mike_5]

Those Lidl Air Bags are quite useful if you lock your car keys inside the car too ...

[@Leoni-is9bg]

Thankyou, had exact same washing machine and managed to install it by myself because of this. Great video!

[@colintmd]

That was a clear explanation and is much appreciated. Thank you.

[@edidiongishola]

Thank you so much for your help. I fixed a washing machine by myself. Thank you for giving me the confidence to do it 🙏

[@TheDIYGuy1]

No problem 👍

[@siroyal2040]

Thank you sir 🎉🎉🎉

[@Mark-ez2xb]

Thanks for your video. This is much more clearer than the animated video from Samsung.

[@nkechiemeka-nwokeji5633]

Thank you so much for the demonstration. We have used one new washing machine without removing the transport bolt. Your video assisted us to disconnect the machineb in order to remove the bolts 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rpaasse6453]

147k subscribers and then telling how to connect youre washingmachine. I'm doing something terrible wrong. You did great, tnx!

[@ferrets4]

Very clear and helpful, thank you

[@rabmccudden683]

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 😅

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Good tip!

[@veggiebiker]

Very clear info-just need a new machine now, thanks 😁

[@KandasamyThusyanthan]

[@schmutzlibuab]

Brilliant! You save me money by giving me the confidence to do this myself, successfully. I'm inspired and will do more for myself now, thank you 👍 Easy to understand and I could watch and listen to you all day 😉

[@GardenNHS]

Thank you. You are a life saver.

[@bbsaid218]

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. 😊

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Top tips 👍

[@sydsnott5042]

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.

[@TinaBailey]

Someone needs to show the whirlpool install team this video. They installed my new one yesterday, didn’t use a jubilee clip & my kitchen was flooded with waste water after the first wash. Fun 🙃 🤦‍♀️

Tak!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks 🙌

[@AB-vh7tw]

Only took me 62 years but it's another notch under my belt, saving me a bob or two, especially at this time of year (10 Dec '24)! Thank you so much. PS. I have to ask though, would it make any difference to insulate the inlet hose and the pipes to reduce condensation from the cold water? There was a lot of black mould on the wall when the previous w/machine was taken out. I've just done a wash now but the hose was very wet and it's not even leaking!

[@tbm.televisions4211]

Im SATELLITE installer i work in Homes thanks for teaching me another side hustle im going to start installing washing machines

Fantastic video. Demystified the process :)

[@heersrivastava2635]

[@muhammadrusyaidiroslan8056]

[@Delaneytheblackcat]

Bruuhhh so easy ,much thanks 😊 🙏

If i am going to pull out our machine to check behind it. How and where am i going to pull safely,? it's positioned in between two cabinets almost like in your video. Good tip with the airbag, i am going to use that when i have to reposition the washing machine👍

[@hardworker8030]

All the hotpoint machines we've had they never had a locking nut. If a tumble dryer has four adjustable feet how would you adjust them if there is no room to get to the feet

[@paveldorozkin123]

Very good video,thank you.

[@housewirestv]

nice explanation! Keep it up with a good videos!

[@epidausxoxo8616]

Is that ok to fit the drainage into airtight connector, because i read on the web, it says it will have a syphon effect and will affect the drain process and can affect machine efficiency

[@Mariexsally]

Very easy thank you for sharing

[@TheDIYGuy1]

My pleasure 😊

[@therealdojj]

What's that contraption on the water pipe by the stop plug please? Thanks

[@penguinproductions7014]

I don’t have any need to subscribe to be honest but I just wanted to say thanks and good luck with your channel, perfect video 👍 cheers

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks a lot

[@Nero-t9x]

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.

[@jaehus1971]

Excellent video. Thanks

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad you liked it!

[@Experternas]

do you have any vids where you prepare the pipes and electrics for a washer? I know that both the piping and electrics needs to be done by a certified guy but I'd like the knowledge.

[@Mclaneinc]

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?

[@hannatewelde2092]

I have problem.

[@slugie7934]

Hi There Great video but ho can i check the back of the washing machine is level at the back when putting under kitchen worktop

[@davidtrim6093]

One of these days, in respect of laundry, your other half might say "DIY" 🙂 Excellent video BTW.

[@green4life324]

Good morning , have you heard of a 4 all box. i cant find the drain hole only hot and cold water plugs ?

[@amazing451]

At point 5.20 on the video when you tested to see if you had any leaks on the water supply, how did that water drain from the drum did it just stay in the drum until you connected the waste pipe?

[@tonyo7324]

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.

[@Joneses-j4b]

Thanks. This machine comes with a random bit of card for the base but you didn’t show that being installed. Did you use it? Seems a lot of work to tip it over & back again.

[@babayega1717]

Great video! Thanks for going through both variants for the dirty water house fitting. As an Eastern European mofo, we all know which one I have :D. Thanks for the help mate!

Any idea what would be the reason for bad smell in the washing machine. the washing machine is brand new.

[@diana58DidiShtereva]

Hello, my washing machine is locked when the door is open. Do you have any advice on how to handle it? Please!

[@irishtruther1013]

Be great if you could show us how to fit an outdoor tap. That uses the fitting that pierces the pipe when you screw it on.

[@alexandratrost101]

Do you need to level up the machine on it feet if the machine is in a "straight" position already?

[@tallulahcc]

Hi, my indeset washing machine's waste standpipe is 66cm from the floor, is that too low for drainage? It was like this when I moved in , thanks!

[@NICKDEVILS420]

Hi i fitted mine and notice the water leak from the valve, i tightened it a little bit and lessened the pressure, on another wash there was a leak althought smaller so i tightened it little more no leak has happen but a tip of water is on the valve, is that normal? No damage on the hose and no dirt on the valve itself.
