Thanks a ton man, Just bought my first ever washer and dryer without realizing the tubes and power cord are sold separately 😅 🤦🏿, so I really appreciate the info on how to put it all together

Another excellent video. I used to work at a big box home center and you wouldn’t believe how many people needed to install a washer and dryer. I know this only showed the dryer, but it’s def the most intimidating of the two.

Hey Tyler! The washing machine video is coming out next week, so stay tuned. Hooking up a washer and dryer is relatively easy but if you have never done it, it can be intimidating. Thanks for watching!

Always loved when I got a job that venting was easy. Having to do rigid pipe and even ones that are telescoping which are helpful. Our area you need to make sure what the code is as long as making sure what the electric dryer manufacturer calls for. Taking shortcuts, can destroy a unit as well. Just like if the dryer has that bridge on the unit, making sure you do it properly. Great explanation on that Making sure the wire and breaker is the proper size wire in the rough-in or pre existing is so important. Sometimes wire in a pre-existing job the wire could be too small for the load required. I know you didn't mention the breaker amp size, but that is determined on the rough-in as well. That's why it's so important to check with the codes and requirements. I've had some jobs that I could not do because the homeowner did not want to upgrade to the proper wire size to accommodate the new dryer. I won't do short cuts at all. Thank you for the great video with the information as well. Have a great week. 🔨👍🏻

Yes, it is important to wire properly for your dryer. Obviously since this is an electric dryer it is much more important to pay attention to the breaker and wire size. A washing machine is much easier than a dryer to install! My next video will be installing the washing machine, but obviously not as in-depth has this video. Thanks for watching David!

@@TheExcellentLaborer always look forward to them. Washing machine install is easier if course, but the rough-in for draining is. Some can only drain in a utility sink instead of a drain box. All are still important. Some old houses with the utility sink drain that go in the floor drain are sometimes a challenge because of newer washers, longer cycles etc. I would always try and hook them up into a schedule 40 drain if close by and trapped. When I did my nephews washer and dryer in there addition, I built a platform for them to be elevated with drawers underneath instead of buying the platforms from the manufacturer. They loved having extra storage. Have a great week Josh. 🔨👍🏻

Thank you for the video! I didn't know that they had 4 wire cords. Always used gas or 3 prong connectors.

You are welcome. Yes 3 and 4 prong is the common electric dryer cord sizes. Thanks for watching!

What is the risk/issue in leaving the white wire that was on the chassis ground there and adding the green wire from the cord? And then putting the other three colored wires from the cord to their appropriate places on the dryer? That is how home depot shows to do it.

@Donna-vh5ym 11 ай бұрын

Josh, I know this is an older video but just found you and subscribed. Question: what do I do if the new dryer purchased has a back for the hose like the one you have, but my hose goes down thru the bottom of the floor? I have my pulled out right now just so I can use it, but 1) its not sitting even with the washer.. 2) its taking up too much space because I have it pulled out and looks awkward. Its all wrong.
