If you don’t have the blue and red pipes under your sink, you need a plumber. By the way, condenser washer dryers are prone to catching fire. The wiring looms are over the dryer drum and can melt if you use the dryer more than one cycle at a time. it needs time to cool off. Fit a smoke alarm in the room where the wd is fitted. Do not leave it drying unattended.
TallPaul July 16, 2010 at 11:16 pm: Those need to connect to your household hot and cold water supply.

Look under your sink. You should see connections for the hoses with little blue and red switches on them. Tighten the hoses onto them. Turn the switch to let the water start running.

Don’t forget your waste pipe! That will have it’s own "drain pipe" to sit in the top of, or connect into the U-bend under the sink.

If this is your first machine and you have no connections then you need a plumber

PS: I think the guys below aren’t in the UK. Hoses are the same size, just different colours here in the UK… And sunshine is talking complete rot as a washer/dryer condenses the water and pumps it out of the waste. You don’t need to vent a washer/dryer.

PS v2: LMAO! Do you guys not have washer/dryers across the pond??? THEY DON’T NEED AN AIRVENT. I’ve owned one. Notice: ONE. It’s just one machine. It washes, *and* dries.
Roy J July 16, 2010 at 11:16 pm: You can put those hoses yourself.

You’ll find they are even different sizes so you can not even mix up the hot and cold. They really made it ‘non-expert’ friendly. Remeber that the gray water line MUST be hung so that part of the line is higher than the highest fill line of the washer. Otherwise gravity will take over and the tub will never fill higher than the ‘hump’ in your waste water line. Draping it over the utility sink usually does the trick.

You will want to vent out the dryer exhaust, because eveni f you filter out lint it still puts too much moisture in your basement. If no vent hook-up exists, you can get panels that take have an exhaust hook up that you can cut and place in a window opening. Use zip ties to secure the vent line.

Good Luck!
Sunshine July 16, 2010 at 11:16 pm: well if you have all the pipes ready in your basement for the washer just connect the the hot to the hot input then cold to the cold input.For the dryer its a little tricky as you need an out vent that means you have to drill a hole through your cement wall for the out vent,or you can just put a nylon stocking in the back of the dryer but make sure to clean it often.
redcan76 July 16, 2010 at 11:16 pm: Most new washing machines show detailed pictures of how to plumb it in but if you are just replacing it with a second hand one – use the old one, look where the old ones went and copy that. If you are starting from scratch its pipe cutters and little pipe tap thingys from a hardware shop or DIY shop. Please be careful though water and electricity!!!!!! try this website below:
Lucky Man. July 16, 2010 at 11:16 pm: If you had a washing machine before,it goes rightinto the same fittings. if you did not have one you can go to homebase or B&Q and get self tapping fittings for under £5 each, you need two, you can fit them onto the waterpipes, carefully, follow the directions.
Eddie J July 16, 2010 at 11:16 pm: If you are plumbing a new house you should already know. so I am assuming you just trying to "hook it up". very simple you will be dealing with three hoses, hot, cold and drain line.
The hot is almost always on the left and sometimes marked in red. the cold is on the right. Make sure you secure the drain hose as it will try to lift from the pressure of the water that the pump will generate. Also check the ends of the new hoses which should also be marked "hot" and "cold" ensuring that they have rubber hose washers inside them, both ends. Now using some pliers tighten the connections until they are just snug. turn the water on each valve and check for leaks. there, you are all done. with the washer.
For the Dryer you will probably have to do some electrical work if it is a new one. on the back of the dryer there is an access plate that will need to be removed. Using the appropriate cord either 3 or 4 wire. you will have to connect each wire in it’s respective location. It is not hard to do. the average person can do this. when you are all done connect the dryer duct exhaust hose or pipe and slide the dryer in place. Reward yourself with a cold beverage and start the laundry. Good luck
theradioham July 16, 2010 at 11:16 pm: Unless you are very competent at DIY plumbing, you would need a professional to fit permanent hot and cold feeds with check valves. If possible, it is best to have the feed connections where they are not too awkward to reach, as the hose ends are almost certain to leak at some point. If you are replacing one that was already plumbed in, then simply turn the check valves off before disconnecting the old hoses (but be sure you know where the hot and cold stopcocks are in case the check valve has failed.

Replacing the sink trap with one that has a hose connector is not such a difficult option for DIY (it may already have this type of trap, with the hose connection capped).
