Installing A Washing Machine

By Aaron Stickley, About.com Guide

Plug in the electric cord before you push the washer into position. Also, before pushing the washing machine back into position it is always a good idea to turn on the water lines and do a test load to make sure the washing machine is working properly.

First check the water lines at all four connections for signs of a leak. Now turn on the washing machine and allow it to go through at least one large drain load. Before pushing the machine back towards the wall, and forgetting it, check that water isn’t leaking anywhere. When you run a test load you can catch any problems before everything is back into position and out of sight. This can save you from a flood or maybe even a small leak that you may not catch right away.
