      Nobody is ordering Japanese to believe that Iraqi’s are Japanese.

      ONLY in White countries are we ordered to believe that Turks are Germans,
      that Zulu’s are Irish and Pakistani’s are Englishmen.

    This is exactly what I need. It is very straightforward. Home Depot delivered a washing machine to my house and had no idea how to hook it up. I said hey let me do it I always do this. I was told it would null and void the warranty. Also he didn't have channel locks and didn't know what they were. The shut-off valves were right in front of him but he was overly cautious and now I have an elephant in the room because he couldn't connect the washer. Nor could he remove the old one out of fear that there would be a leak. Safety first I guess. Never underestimate the power of this woman

      You will need to make sure to unplug or kill power to the dryer through the breaker if you are changing the power cable like I did, but if you are just simply plugging it into an outlet, you do not have to turn off the power.

    • @beefmaster_james
      @beefmaster_james  9 місяців тому

      Usually they are marked with a marker or paint for the drain. If they aren't take a shot at opening one as you can always cover it back up later with a cap or gasket if it's the wrong side. Just make sure a drain pipe is attached or you will flood your wall.

    2. Behind washer and dryer is alot of lint and dirt, old socks old shirt AND the hose isnt hooked up with the dryer and wall. So this can cause a fire as stated in this video. Unbelievable. MAINTENANCE is on their way.

    The entire video is really good but when installing the drainage hose at the end on the top you notice it has a hole use a zip tie to hold in place the drainage hose to the hose or the base of the hose because if the pressure of the water is to much or the washer moves it can still pull it out this way u would be safe and you won’t risk to flood the house.

      Good question. The hose was in good condition but was slightly stretched to reach the drain. When washing bulky loads like towels washers can move and I didn’t want to risk the hose stretching too far and disconnecting.
