Instructions on how to connect a washing machine

Proper installation and connection of the washing machine will guarantee its long service life and safety during operation. But how to connect the washing machine?

Location selection

The placement of the washing machine may be different. It is installed:

  • In the bathroom.
  • In the kitchen.
  • In the hall.
  • In the closet. The best option. It does not have high humidity, like in the kitchen or in the bathroom, and it is less likely that the electric motor will be shocked even with grounding.

To install it, any option is acceptable if it is possible to connect to communications.

Preparatory stage of installation

Having chosen the place where the washing machine will be installed, you need:

  • Remove the packaging from it.
  • Remove the transport fasteners and bolts that hold the moving parts of the automatic machine and the engine during transport.
  • Close the holes from the unscrewed bolts with the plugs included in the kit.

How to connect a washing machine to the sewer

Depending on the features of the drain system of the washing machine, the connection to the sewer can be carried out:

  • If the automatic machine does not have a valve on the drain hose that prevents the reverse movement of water, then the connection to the sewer must occur with a level limit. The instructions should indicate the parameters of the level at which the pipe (drain hose) should be located.
  • To connect the washing machine to the sewer, you need to use an additional drain siphon. With its help, the drain hose of the machine is securely attached to the system for draining water from the sink into the sewer, eliminating the possibility of leakage.

  • Sometimes a drain is made by fixing the pipe on the side of the bathroom or sink, but such a system is not reliable - the hose can break off and water will pour onto the floor.
  • After joining the sewer, the branch pipe is rigidly fixed in the expanded state at a level of 80 cm from the floor.

How to connect the washing machine to the water supply

Connection to the water supply is carried out using standard flexible hoses. It can be done in two ways.

Through the use of a separate valve

  • The water is blocked and a tie-in is carried out in the water pipe.
  • A valve is installed at the outlet of the pipe, which makes it possible to disconnect the washing machine from the water supply when washing is not carried out.
  • It is recommended to install a removable water filter, this will protect the automatic machine from the ingress of small metal particles from the water pipes.

  • It is possible to connect the washing machine to existing faucet or drain outlets using a splitter.

The video shows step-by-step instructions for connecting the washing machine to the water supply.

Through the water faucet

This option of connecting the washing machine to the water supply system allows you to connect the washing machine very quickly. A disconnected inlet hose prevents water from entering the washing machine when it is not in use.

How to properly install a washing machine

Proper installation of the automatic machine “by level” will minimize vibration during its operation. If this is not done, the operation of the drum may be disrupted and the engine may fail. Leveling is done by adjusting the height of the legs.

Before starting operation, it is also necessary to check the stability of the unit by pressing on the upper corners.

How to connect the motor from the washing machine to the mains

Connecting the motor to the mains is a very important step in installing the washing machine. Incorrect connection of the motor may result in electric shock. Work on connecting the engine is carried out in the following sequence:

  • With the help of a special bus (the minimum cross section allowed for it is 3 mm), the switchboard is grounded.
  • The connection of the electric motor is allowed only through a three-wire type socket (it must contain zero, phase and ground).
  • The ground wire must be carefully insulated.
  • It is forbidden to connect grounding to communication pipes or heating radiators in order to avoid the occurrence of an electric charge in them during the operation of the washing machine engine.

How to check if the erasing device is installed correctly

To do this, you need to start the unit and observe its operation. When installed correctly:

  • Water must be drawn into the tank within the time specified in the instructions.
  • There should be no water leakage.
  • The motor must run smoothly.
  • At the end and during washing, the drain should function normally.
  • The drum should rotate evenly without making extraneous sounds.

Manufacturers in the instructions always indicate how to connect the machine to the machine. By carefully reading all the recommendations for connecting, you can easily cope with this task.
