In the modern world almost every second family has an automatic washing machine on its premises - this benefit has long been ingrained in the subconscious of our people and nothing can be knocked out of it. As you understand, simply buying a washing machine, an automaton will not help much in the household, because it still needs to be installed and connected properly.
Installing a washing machine with your own hands
Of course, it's hard to understand without knowledge and experience, but if you ever faced such an activity or have "crazy hands", it's not a sin to try. And our advice will definitely help you! And now let's see how installs the washing machine by itself step by step.
And start with the fact that we learn how to properly unpack it. Yes Yes exactly. Only because of ignorance of how correctly to unscrew the purchased washing machine, many troubles occur. Although in reality, as experience and practice shows, this is a very simple and simple matter.
Having freed the washing machine from packing, the first thing to do is to save it from the transport bolts - they are designed to fix the drum during transportation. If the installation of the washing machine is automatic without removing the locking screws, then as a result you will get, at least, the strongest vibration, and the maximum - a complete breakdown of the equipment you just purchased.
Turn the washing machine backwards and look for four holes sealed with plastic stoppers - two at the top and two at the bottom. We take out the plugs and unscrew all four screws - the remaining holes are sealed by the stubs that come with the machine.

Everything, in this preparatory work is completed - now installation and connection of the washing machine can be carried out further without any problems.
Installation of the washing machine according to
level Let's start in order. We install the washing machine on the intended place, arm ourselves with a small level and achieve its ideal location in the plane of the horizon. For such adjustment from below the washing machine there are adjustable supports - as a rule, in modern machines they are located only in front. The rear legs are not adjustable, so the entire leveling operation will have to be overpowered with the help of two front legs.
It is very important to fix the adjusted supports in the desired position - for this purpose, each adjustable foot is provided with a lock nut. If the locknuts are not clamped, then after a while the legs will loosen and, as a consequence, its level will collapse, as a result of which you are threatened with the repeated installation of the washing machine with your own hands .
Connecting the washing machine to the water pipe
Now there is not much left. At the next stage of the work, an independent installation of the washing machine will require you to connect it to the water supply and sewerage system. It would seem that everything is simple, but this only applies if the relevant tie-in to the water pipe and to the water disposal system have been prepared in advance. In this case, you only have to connect the machine to the water supply with a special hose that comes in the kit, and insert the corrugated drainage hose into the tee of the sewage system.

If there are no prepared connection points, you will have to work hard and make them yourself. Here everything depends on the material from which the water distribution system in the apartment is made. With a metal-plastic pipe everything is simple - cut, put a tee and tightly squeezed the nuts. Harder things are with the polypropylene pipe - a special soldering iron is needed for inserting an additional tee. But about the steel pipes and do not even want to talk, there is a lot of work with them, in general, the installation and connection of a washing machine to metal pipes is a very serious matter and it is better to entrust it to professionals.
Where to install the washing machine: possible places in the apartment and house
As a rule, in our apartments there are only a couple of places in which it is possible to freely install a washing machine: a kitchen and a bathroom. Installing a washing machine in the bathroom can be fraught with some trouble - the technology rusts and its service life is reduced by several times. You understand, the increased humidity in this room does not bode well: it is the oxidation of contacts in the electrical part of the equipment, and premature damage to the hull. In this respect, the installation of a washing machine in the kitchen is quite advantageous: here the above troubles do not threaten you.
Well, in principle, you can install a washing machine anywhere, it will find a place in almost any room in the apartment and at home - some people, due to lack of space, arrange the necessary attribute of a comfortable life in the corridor and even in the bedroom. The most important thing in this story is to find a place for plumbing and plumbing - it's a good thing that hoses that connect the machine can be extended to any length.
