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 😂😂😁😁

I was looking for a plumber but now I’m going to do it myself. Thanks bro. God bless you 🙏🏽

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 👍

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

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 😅

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.

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?

WOW! You had a 35kW combi installed by iHeat? I watched their video on their youtube channel. Im thinking 35kw is way way over sized. Did they do a heat loss calculation? Im guessing less then 10kw assuming double glazing, wall & loft insulation ect. They installed a hive not worcesters own weather compensation controls, so i doubt that boiler is going to modulate. I'm betting that boiler is cycling wasting gas. Unless you wanted to run a bath and shower bar mixer and fill up the sink with hot water all at the same time. That boiler is way over sized. Did they measure the cold main flow rate and pressure? I don't think ill be subscribing to their channel.

The machine may be connected to a hot water feed. Check where the washing machine pipe is connected to and when you're running a cold wash feel the pipe to see if it is warm. If it is then you have hot water going to the machine and need to change it to a coldfeed pipe.
