Have you ever wondered how to install an integrated washer dryer<\/a> in your kitchen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might be challenging to figure out how to install this machine since you need to ensure that the fit is ideal so that you can still reach cabinets, the dishwasher<\/a>, and other kitchen appliances and tools. If you don’t have access to the right skills, or tools, don’t ruin your laundry by trying the installation alone. You can get a laundry installation professional to set things up for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do have access to plenty of skills and patience, you’re in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post will explore some of the steps involved in installing this piece of laundry equipment. If you’re not confident with plumbing or implementing electrical appliances in your kitchen, you may need to look into a professional service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing for the Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step in installing an integrated washing machine and dryer<\/a> is making sure you have the right product. Measure the appliance carefully and the space where you want the machine to be installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure there is space in your kitchen for the opening and that the cabinet goes all the way to the ground. This way, your machine has something sturdy to stand on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There needs to be plenty of space within the unit so that you can avoid the rocking or movement of a spin cycle harming things in your kitchen. Installing one of these appliances before adding additional cabinetry work in your kitchen can reduce the stress and cost of this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, an integrated washing machine is one of the more popular appliances among homes with smaller washing and laundry needs. These are entirely hidden behind existing or new cabinets and doors in your kitchen, so you can’t see them working. This means that you need to ensure your equipment has a full-fitting plinth and door to cover them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing Your Appliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most appliances will come with access to tutorials and manuals. If you can’t find this information with your device, check what the company might post on its website. There should be some information available online. If you can’t find instructions on the website, you might want to reach out to a specialist service to avoid doing damage to your water or electrical system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you read all of the instructions carefully to know where everything needs to be attached to your home. Ideally, you’ll need to place the product within the cabinet before applying the bottom plinth for the cabinet. Most integrated washing machines will have a front opening door, so the top of the unit can go all the way up to the bottom of the unit, keeping everything level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The front door of your washing machine may be attached to the cabinet door in such a way that you would simply open the cabinet door to access and remove old laundry loads and add new ones. If this is the case for your machine, please check the instructions for a template of how to mount the machine’s door properly onto the door of your cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After ensuring your washing machine fits in the right place within your home, turn all of the water off before accessing the plumbing part of your washer dryer installation. An integrated washing machine installation, just like when you’re installing a freestanding washing machine, will require you to connect the back of the machine to the plumbing in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
