- Maybe you just got a new washer or dryer and want to install it yourself, or perhaps you're moving and want to save a fee from the moving company. Whatever the case may be, this project is pretty easy to do yourself with only a couple of tools.

Thank you I just found out my movers won’t unhook appliances without a fee. Let me tell you how empowered I felt when the first video that pops up is a woman doing it herself! Thank you!
I'm so glad it helped! It's so easy to do I'm surprised they even charge for it.
This is the most helpful video on moving the washer and dryer I’ve found…I’ve been dreading doing this myself and was ready to fork over the extra few hundred to have someone else do it for me, but now I’m feeling pretty confident that I can do it myself. Thank you!
So glad you found it helpful! Best of luck!
Yeah it helped me alot too
You just saved my life ! Didn't need to call my dad while crying because of you thank you !!
So glad it helped!!!
2 years later and this is still helpful. Thank you for sharing!🙂
Thank you for this video! I saw a woman’s face with six minutes and knew this was video for me!! Thank you for making this so easy!! 💕🙏
(I learn from everyone, of course, but something about being a woman learning from a woman how to ‘fix-it’ felt really good.)
Thank you for watching and leaving a kind comment! I'm really glad you found it helpful
thank you for showing how easy this is !! I've been delivering/installing washers and dryers & all appliances for years now & majority of people really don't understand how easy it is
I just watched three videos on how to do this and your video was by far the most simple and best explained so thank you
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much, the store said they wouldn’t be disconnecting or installing anything because of covid... only delivery of new one and pick up of old one. Weird because when the delivery driver showed up he asked if I wanted him to install it for us... I said hey they told me I had to do it myself, and I'm already here, it's very easy, which he said yes it is very easy! My dad was supposed to do this for my grandmother but he was busy working so I volunteered to do it. She was yelling at me every step of the way to stop and wait, she insisted we needed a man or professional to do it. I said listen, I watched this CZcams video it’s very easy!!! She didn’t trust me at all, and there was a bit of a language barrier with her at the same time.
I was worried the old one wasn’t completely drained... every time I tipped it, water poured out of the back (I was told I had to remove all the hoses from the back as well, I didn't know about the clamps, so had a bit of trouble squeezing it off). Delivery driver explained that’s okay you can never completely drain them. And then the new drain hose was actually a bit shorter than the old one, I had a lot of trouble reaching it to the drain, but I was able to force it in.
I don’t think she will use it until my dad comes by to inspect, but I know I did it all correctly! The irony is when he “fixed” our washer he actually mixed up the hot and cold pipes... it says hot and cold on the back, hot and cold behind the knobs on the wall, this is fool proof! I'm mentally exhausted from just her hovering and insisting I should give up, but I persisted because I felt inspired by this video :p
I'm so sorry I didn't respond to this until now! So glad that this video was helpful to you, and to your grandmother! I kind of hate that your grandmother didn't think that you (or she) could do it on her own, but I'm also glad that you proved it wrong!
@@ChickFixUSA She is VERY old fashioned, always had someone else do these things for her. My dad came over later and changed the drain hose for a longer one... and he asked me "What are all these clamps for by the way?" while holding them in his hands - I said "You need the clamp on to secure the pipe or it will leak!" Haha so a reminder that some people are very good at looking like they know everything...
Great job - I would have felt like a fool giving those guys $175 to remove the washer and dryer!
Thank you I just disconnected my washer, for the delivery of my new dryer
Thank you for making this video. We just got our new to us washer installed, and it only cost me dinner!
Thank you so much for this! Just having someone explaining and showing is golden! I accidentally said "How hard can it be?" the other day and this morning I had to live with that.
So glad you found it helpful!
thank you, i found this when trying to figure out how to bring a washer and dryer into my 78 year old grandfather's home. you seem really bright and thorough so i'm going to watch more... er, right after i replace the washer and dryer right now 😂
This was very helpful wish I had watched before I just bought a new washer for 500 because the movers was charging 400 dollars to disconnect washer and connect at new place thank you for this video I can go get the washer and put it in storage God Bless you
It's SUCH an easy thing to do, people just don't realize it.
So helpful. Great video. Clear and efficient. Thank you
Thank you so much for this! So helpful and straight to the point 👏🏾
Thank you! I usually pay to have movers do this but trying to save money and you made it look easy!
Thank you. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow.
We have the same exact brand and the same set up ! Thank you soo much, you just made my move a lot easier.
great video! love how you explained things so simply! do wish you had a gas dryer to show us but I will continue searching for a video that does! helpful for the washer though and love your attitude and honesty! thank you!! :)
Thank you! SO much clearer than all the other videos I have seen.
Thanks for the support! And I'm glad it helped!
Thank you! I was wondering if it was as straightforward as I thought! Subscribed!
I can't thank you enough for doing this video. You are an angel. You explained it so well. Thank you
You are absolutely welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Heard when you unscrew hose with your vice grips, to make sure you only grab at the front of the metal where the grooves are and not to clamp beyond that because then you will actually crimp it onto the threads of your water connection. Just learned that from someone else on youtube. Be careful. At those prices, definitely is a job worth doing on your own. Out with the good old days of true service. You buy a washer from some one that is a service they should provide without question.
I'm going to do this myself, thanks for the great diy video... To the point and complete.
Thanks a bunch for this video. Very cool to show people that they can do things. Empowering!
Thank you for watching!
tfw u have an ancient house and have to build a drain system urself
We’ve moved from South Carolina to Ohio, our house burnt down anyways we had to buy a new washer and dryer a couple times already my mom did this with the new machines. Since we are looking into moving again to Florida this time. I’m soo happy about that.
Such clear instructions and nice demeanor ❤❤
Thanks for this video. My husband was blinded and further disabled by a stroke and now I need to learn these things. Just to verify, in regards to lefty loosey and righty tighty....lefty loosey would be turning the water off and righty tighty would be turning it on?
I'm scared to death to try this, but I have no choice. Part of our house was destroyed in the winter storm and those repairs have drained the bank balance. I can't afford to pay anyone else to do it. As freaky as things are in this house, I'm afraid I'm going to have another water explosion in this house when I try to disconnect this washer. Thank you again for this video. Have a blessed Easter.
Straight to the Point Video. Thank you for the Video.
So informative and encouraging too. Thanks!
Thank you. I just learned something new today. 😌
Ok that was FANTASTIC! Thank you !
I went to.home depot after I watch your video brought a vice grip that shyt came in handy thank you for the help love..❤💪🏾
I used those all over the place in the house!
I appreciate the step by step info thanks a ton!
Good info. I remember your video for cleaning the dryer vent. I have a stackable washer and dryer so it's not as easy to move. Kinda wish it was cause I really need to clean behind it.
This was really useful! Thank you!
Awesome! Made it look so easy
Thanks for the video!! Making a stressful time that much less stressful
I'm glad it helped!
So helpful! Thanks!
Thank you! I'm moving and had the same issue. I couldnt for the life of me remember the name of "channel locks" and I refuse to pay movers to disconnect it for me. Off to lowes I go. :)
Good luck! I know what you mean, I keep wanting to call "channel locks" an "adjustable wrench" which is a completely different tool. Thanks for watching and good luck with your move!
Really usefull, well made and clear, thanks!
Awesome video!!
Super sweet. I have these exact model
!Muchas gracias!
Thank you so much when you’re a single gal the struggle is REAL!!!

Impressed! Subscribed!
Amazing. Thank you!

Im trying to be a handywoman
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thanks for saving me a couple hundred bucks!
Love you for this! Indebted!!
I'm so glad it helped!
Thank you sooo much!
Thank you!
Thank you, I had to do this today because I am moving.
Sorry I didn't respond earlier! I hope to move went well.
Thank you!!
phenomenal
Very informative... and cute too!
Thank you for watching!
When you unhook the hoses, do you leave them connected to the washer & lay them in the washer after draining or do you remove those as well?
Thanks! This helped a lot!
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching and commenting!
good tutorial! watched a few men try to explain the process and it was humiliating, at best.
Epic thanks!
Thank you. I'm going to try it myself. I will let you know.
Sorry I didn't respond earlier! Did it all go well for you?
great video
Thanks - I need to move my washer and dryer to install some floor tiles. This help (except my dryer is gas)/
There will just be an extra step to shut the gas off at the valve before disconnecting the gas line. I'm sure there's a video out there somewhere about that.
Awesome thank you !!
Awesome!
Hi, great video! I'm trying to find ways to save on electricity and water. I wondered what your thoughts might be on turning the water off and unplugging the washer when not in use?
Thank you.
I love you. Thanks for your personality and instructions. Good vibes always friend! ✌🏼✌🏼💪🏼❤
You’re the coolest
its funny I knew that you didn't turn the water back on when you told that story hahahah, btw you're absolutely right I feel weird charging customers to install a dryer especially . anyone can do it
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Thank you sooo much omg
Appreciate your approach.. I just didn't see how you install the hoses to the new washer (not to the wall)...
Lucky husband got himself a Wife , Handy-woman and eye candy all in one.
Great!
Will you do a video of starting THAT washer, please?
So I wasn't finding vice grips or channel locks when searching my hardware store online. I guess they're also called locking pliers vice grips and groove & tongue pliers, respectively. How do I know which one to use?
ChickFix USA Great videos!
Very helpful 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video! Quick question, how much water do you let out for the washer if you have the knob kind of handle?
Turn it all the way off until it doesn't turn any more
Haha, I was wondering when you would turn the water on. Thanks for the info
Thanks for watching!
Easy.. one recommendation would be to invest into better quality hoses.. braided metal hoses can save you alot of money.. don't want to have a burst hose.
Thanks 🍯 from one chick to another !
Hope it helps!
I’m just having troubles trying to figure out which one is hot and which one is cold since it doesn’t indicate them on the wall! I guess I could run them and have a bucket underneath and see! Lol
Today I learned that with hot and cold switch turn to the On position, my washer works great. Turning hot and cold to Off, my washer works great. Turning the red and blue knobs does not turn off the water! Not sure what purpose they serve, as they look like water disconnect switches.
I've just noticed that my hot water valve (identical to the set up you have) is leaking a slight bit, and rusty stains are forming. Is it difficult to replace this part? I watched your CZcams video on freezer problems and fixed mine this morning on my own. So, now I'm feeling pretty empowered to try fixing more problems in my home without having to make service calls and paying out MORE money.
Thank you for watching! Yes, it's possible to fix that yourself, although you'll want to make sure you turn the water off inside your home when you do it. (I have a video for this as well!) You should be able to buy that part at Home Depot or another home improvement store. Is it leaking from the connection point to the line to the washer, or from the stem?
This helped
I'm so glad!!! ❤️❤️❤️
My issue is my dryer hose keeps coming off the actual dryer. And I have to actual move the washer out first to get to the dryer.
Hi, we're going to be moving soon and we have a gas dryer. Any tips you can share with us about moving the gas dryer ourselves?
Well I don't have one, so take this with a grain of salt.... But as long as you shut off the valve on the gas line before you unscrew the dryer from it, you should be fine. There should be a shut-off valve right there on the line coming from the wall.
Thank you ya 7agga
Love you youre awrsome
husband of the year.
I have a Amana washing machine but it doesn’t have a soil level
No disrespect! You're way prettier than my boss.
" I learn " lol
Why thank you!
And the next thing is ger tid of the old rubber lines and get braided line hoses
