How do you disconnect a washing machine?

To disconnect your old washing machine, follow the steps below. You'll need an old towel and a bowl:

• Step 1: unplug your washing machine from the socket.
• Step 2: close the water supply.
• Step 3: disconnect the supply hose.
• Step 4: remove the drain hose from the drain.
• Step 5: tape both hoses.
• Step 6: empty the drain filter.
• Step 7: secure the transit bolts.

Turn off the washing machine and disconnect it from the power supply. Check if there's any laundry in the drum. You want to keep your favorite shirt to yourself, of course.

Follow the supply hose to the tap via the back of the washing machine. Turn off the tap clockwise.

Disconnect the supply hose. You do this by turning the ring between the tap and the hose. Make sure that water comes out of the hose. You can catch this with a bowl.

Remove the drain hose from the drain. Drain the hose completely into a bucket.

Tape both hoses onto the back of the washing machine with the opening facing up. Make sure they stay firmly in place with tape. This way, you don't have to worry about water dripping from it.

Place a towel and a bucket in front of the filter. Open the drain filter cover at the bottom of the washing machine. Is there a tube near the filter? Use this to drain the water. Next, unscrew the filter and collect the remaining water. Replace the filter and close the tube. Finally, close the drain valve.

The last step is to put the transit bolts back into the machine. Push the transit bolts int he holes on the back of the washing machine. Tightly screw all bolts into place with a electric screwdriver. That way, you prevent the washing machine from getting damaged during transport. The washing machine is ready to be handed over to the delivery drivers. Is Coolblue installing your new washing machine? Leave your old model in place disconnected.
