Installing washing machines - connect hot and cold supply, fit waste hose, level properly, test it works. Straightforward job, done right.
### Get It Connected Properly
**New washing machine delivered** but you need it plumbed in? Or moved your old one to a new spot?
Hot, cold, and waste all need connecting properly. Level it so it doesn't vibrate itself across the room. Test it actually works. I do this all the time - quick, straightforward job.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Always check the machine is level after installation. An unlevel machine will vibrate, make noise, and gradually work itself across the floor during spin cycles. Proper leveling takes 2 minutes and solves all that.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Remove Transit Bolts & Position Take out the transit bolts (the shipping bolts that lock the drum). Position the machine roughly where it needs to go. ### Step 2: Connect Everything Attach hot and cold fill hoses to the isolation valves, fit waste hose into standpipe or waste connection. Make sure everything's tight. ### Step 3: Level & Test Adjust the feet until the machine is perfectly level (I use a spirit level). Run a short wash cycle to test it fills, washes, drains, and spins. Check for leaks.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **No existing connections?** If you've never had a washing machine in that spot before, you'll need proper connections fitted - hot and cold isolation valves plus a proper standpipe with trap for the waste. Takes longer to install but then you're sorted permanently. **Hot and cold or just cold?** Most modern washing machines are cold-fill only (they heat the water internally). The hot connection is there but often not used. If yours is cold-fill only, I just cap off the hot valve. **Integrated washing machines:** If you're fitting one into kitchen units, you might need help with the door fronts and side panels. That's usually a kitchen fitter's job, but I can advise or help if it's straightforward.
Frequently Asked Questions about Washing machine installation in Honiton
Do washing machines come with the hoses or do I need to buy them separately?
Most new machines come with fill hoses included. If yours doesn't, or if the existing ones are damaged, I carry standard hoses in the van. Waste hoses are usually with the machine too, but I've got spares if needed.
Can you connect a washing machine if there aren't proper connections?
If you've never had a washing machine in that location, we'll need to fit proper connections - hot and cold isolation valves plus a waste connection (usually a standpipe). That's more work than just connecting to existing connections - takes 1-2 hours extra.
Why does my washing machine need to be level?
If it's not level it'll vibrate and 'walk' across the floor during the spin cycle. Really unlevel and it won't drain or wash properly. I adjust the feet until it's dead level - takes a couple of minutes but makes a huge difference.
Should I remove the transit bolts before you connect it?
Yes - those are the big bolts holding the drum in place for transport. They MUST come out before first use or you'll damage the machine. If you're not sure how, I can remove them when I install it.
Can you test it's working properly once connected?
Yes - I run a short wash cycle to check it fills, drains, and spins properly. Also check there are no leaks from any of the connections. You'll know it's all working before I leave.
