    I've only ever fitted an old school washer waaaay back when with my dad, so for a single woman moving into her own flat, this has been a great video. Dad would be proud. Thanks.

    Bro thank you so much, no cap you saved the day. My missus was telling me to sleep outside. I used two coins (I didn’t have a spanner/wrench) and all of my strength to open up the bolts. From there it was like taking candy from a baby🎉

    I've just bought a Candy which is similar to the Hoover in this video. That black square on top of the machine before you unpacked it is actually the base of the washing machine. You should have fitted it after removing the locking bolts. It is designed to reduce the noise of the machine.

    I had a Hoover Perfoma, and it was at least 25 years old. It started to make a lot of noise so I gave it to my friend for scrap. I have just bought this exact model as yours. I actually thought there was something wrong with it, as I couldn't believe how long the spin lasted until I watched your video. Thanks.

    @MrRichyDude 2 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Interesting tip worth knowing about washer/dryer combos: if you put too many clothes in the machine on the drying cycle which causes the heating element to trip, all you have to do is remove the top panel of the machine (normally a thin panel of wood) and look for a couple of square "push switches", press both, and this will reset the trip

    Cheers mate I hadn’t installed a washer for decades, and have a new one arriving later. Had a thought: I wonder if it’s still the same? Other than the new waste water fitting it is but the confidence boost from your straight forward style and thorough coverage really helped, ta mate.

  • @imark7777777
    @imark7777777 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Fascinating it's interesting to see the differences between a washing machine in the UK versus the US is. We still have hot and cold and centrally heated water where as it makes more sense to run electric and do on-demand heating in 240v countries. Transportation bolts that's a crazy idea. And you said you don't need to explain what that gray thing is but it doesn't make any sense to me the end is way to big to be a power cord (sarcasm joking) LOL.
    Plastic hose for the water inlet. For the longest time we used rubber/plastic there seems to be a big push lately to use braided metal houses because somehow they don't leak. I've never had one leak and besides the metal mash is over a rubber plastic anyway. usually most of the damaged here's is the metal thread fittings that are made of cheap metal and rust out if not cared for.
    And washing machine in the kitchen crazy. Usually in older homes they were in the basement or bathroom and sometimes closet. newer houses kind of do more of the laundry room.
    And most of the big hardware stores here to free installation upon delivery unless it's terribly difficult to get it in your door.

    @mrgari189 2 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    When trying to slide the machine into a recess on a laminate or vinyl floor smear some washing up liquid near the feet and it slides in much easier. Sounds crazy but it works. One other thing to be careful of is the waste water in the sink is higher than the height of washing machine waste pipe. If you have a slow draining kitchen sink (or a partially blocked u-bend) there is a risk of the dishwater backing up into the waste pipe of the washing machine. Keep the waste hose as high as possible - I have mine hooked to the underside of the worktop

    I watch many of your videos out of curiosity... because I'm in Canada and things are quite a bit different here from there.
    Like your washing machines. Compared to yours, ours are huge. The ones that are in our rental apartment, for instance, is a top-loader that can wash our biggest blanket without trouble... it's an oversized queen sized heavy fleece/mink style. We also have dryers to make our lives easier. I don't know about you, but hanging clothes on a line in -40C temperatures is not my idea of a good time.
    By the way, I also really enjoy learning things from you. You have an excellent way of explaining things so that a novice can understand. Thank you for that.
