What we do with washing machines
We connect washing machines and dishwashers, freestanding or built-in, of any make: Bosch, Beko, Electrolux, Whirlpool and others.
- You've bought a new washing machine and it needs connecting to the water and the drain
- You're moving the machine from the bathroom to the kitchen, or putting it under the sink
- There's no tap near the machine and nowhere to run the drain hose
- A built-in dishwasher has to be connected before its cabinet door goes on
- Water is leaking from under the machine or from the inlet hose
- The drum or the detergent drawer smells of sewage
- The machine won't drain, or it fills itself with water from the drain
- On the spin cycle the machine jumps and walks across the bathroom
We don't repair the machine itself: the pump, the bearings or the control board are a job for an appliance repair service, and the socket is an electrician's job.
Washing machine installation prices
The callout is free if you go ahead with the job through our plumber. If you decline, the diagnosis costs 150 lei. If a tap, a trap with a spigot or a longer hose is missing, we buy it and show you the receipt.
How we install a washing machine
-
Where the machine will go
Call or message us with the machine you have and where it's going. A photo of the spot, the pipes and the drain there shows us which parts to bring.
-
Price and time on the phone
We tell you what the connection starts from, and we agree a day and a time.
-
Where the water comes from
The plumber sees where the water can come from and where the drain can go, and tells you the exact price before starting.
-
We connect the machine
We take out the transit bolts at the back, fit a tap on the cold supply, attach the inlet hose and run the drain hose into the trap at the height the manual asks for. Then we adjust the feet so the machine stands level.
-
A short test wash
We run a short programme, check that nothing drips at the connections and that the water goes down the drain, then clean up after ourselves. The work comes with a guarantee.
Why does the height of the washing machine drain hose matter?
Before it goes into the drain, the hose has to rise to the height given in the machine's manual, usually 60-90 centimetres above the floor. If it sits lower, dirty water runs out of the drum by itself during the wash, the machine keeps refilling, and you pay for the extra water and electricity.
The second thing is how the hose joins the drain. Pushed straight into the pipe with no water-filled trap, it lets the sewer smell into the drum and the laundry. Set too low, or jammed tight into the pipe, it lets water from the sink or the riser flow back into the machine. A trap with a washing machine spigot, or a non-return valve, solves both.
If your laundry comes out smelling, the machine stops with a drain error, or there's water in the drum before you start it, call us: the plumber can usually move the hose or replace the trap there and then.
Where we come out to
The tradesmen at Plumber Chișinău install washing machines in flats and houses in Botanica, Ciocana, Râșcani, Buiucani, Telecentru and Centru. If you have a dishwasher too, we connect both the same day.
Frequently asked questions
A washing machine under the sink: is it possible?
Yes, if the model fits under the worktop and the sink has a flat trap with a spigot for the machine. Under such a sink the trap sits low, so we put a non-return valve on the drain to keep sink water out of the machine. Measure the height under the worktop before you buy the machine.
Do you connect built-in dishwashers too?
Yes. We connect it to the water and to the kitchen sink trap before its cabinet door goes on, and check that the hoses don't leak. If the machine has an Aquastop hose, we leave it whole, with no extension, so the protection keeps working.
Does the machine need its own socket?
A washing machine needs its own earthed socket, with no extension lead, because it draws a lot of current while it heats the water. If there's no socket or it's too far away, an electrician fits one; we connect the water and the drain, and the machine is switched on once the socket is ready.
Bought a new washing machine?
Tell us where the machine is going and we'll set the installation day. If water is on the floor right now, we send the plumber at once.
