    Thank you, just received our first washing machine ever. We have never installed one ourselves but watching your video, we were able to. We had the upwards long pipe, previous owner had so it was easy to stick the pipe into that. And connect the cold water pipe, thankfully no leaks. We followed our WM manual and did the drum cycle, no leaks, drains as expected. Though I wish there was a plug near the WM, the kitchen was the one thing we did not renovate so when we do....one thing for sure, will make sure there is a plug socket near appliances such as WM, dishwasher and tumble dryer, saves the hassle of using extension. But anyway, this is the best video I have seen on WM Info and Installation.

    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 😁

      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

      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. 😅

    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 😅

    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!

    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.

    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?

  • @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.

    I have a question, will any washing fit the space under my work top? I’ve done measurements but it seems so tight,

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

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

    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?

    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!
