Installing washer and dryer?

Is it straightforward to install a washer and dryer (front load), in a newly purchased home? or does one need professional installation.

In the area designated for the washer and dryer, you should see a recessed box with water valves and a hole in the middle for the washer drain. Simple to hook-up. Your dryer should have an exhaust in the back that hooks up to the duct in the wall. There should also be a 220 electrical receptacle (if the dryer is electric) to plug into. If the dryer is gas, there are other exhausts to hook up. Normally not a big or hard job. If you are buying a new electric dryer, you will need a cord. They don't come with one. Make sure the plug is the same type as the receptacle.Installing washer and dryer?
There are a few details you did not provide:





1. Are you buying a new washer


%26amp; dryer? If so, delivery %26amp; instal-


lation are often included.





2. Did the prvious owner of the


house have a washer %26amp; dryer


hooked-up? If so %26amp; yours is


fueled the same way (dryers


can be either gas or electric)


its pretty straightforward for


you to install the connections


yourself with a screwdriver %26amp;


a pair of pliers. Just be sure both


appliances are level after you get


all connections done. If they are


not, there are metal feet at each


of the 4 corners to be screwed up


or down until a level set on top


of the machine shows they are


correctly aligned. If they are not


level, the machines will move


when they go into spin cycle.





3. If you are hiring movers to move


your appliances, perhaps they


can do the hook-up for you as


part of their services.





There are several variables that you did not give as details in your questions, so its hard to give you a straight answer.
I take it the house is set up for it already..I mean wired..........Just be sure the plug on the dryer, matches the outlet.......Hook up your washer..hot to hot , cold to cold and the drain........GOOD LUCK......
as long as your electrical and plumbing is in place you can just set em in and hook em up dryer vent is easy and you can look proffesional bby putting in steel or aluminum pipe instead of that awful accordian sttyle pvc venting.all can be bought at your local homedepot or lowes
