Common Installation Issues & Signs You Need a Professional
Washer and dryer installation involves heavy lifting, plumbing, and electrical work. Bad installs cause water damage, gas leaks, or dangerous vibrations.
- Walking Machines: An unleveled washer or shipping bolts left in place make the machine bang and move during spin.
- Leaking Hoses: Reused old hoses or under-tightened connections leak puddles behind the machine.
- Stacking Confusion: Stacking kits are heavy and complex—lifting a 150-lb dryer is dangerous solo.
