Connecting a washing machine involves connecting the drain hose to a standpipe and attaching the water inlet hoses to the water supply valves.
Here's a simplified breakdown of the process, assuming you have the necessary parts (drain hose, water inlet hoses) and tools:
-
Attach the Drain Hose: Locate the drain valve on the back of your washing machine. Securely connect one end of the drain hose to this valve.
-
Position the Drain Hose: Locate your home's standpipe (a vertical pipe for wastewater). Insert the other end of the drain hose into this standpipe. Make sure the hose is securely positioned to prevent it from popping out during operation. Ideally, the standpipe should be at the correct height (check your washing machine's manual) to prevent siphoning.
