If there comes a time when you need to move your washing machine out from its location to repair or replace or just clean out behind, then the task is not hard to do. There is of course always risk involved, like flooding, so you need to be confident. If not you should seek professionals help like an Edgeware Plumber who can fit a new washing machine. 1). First, move the machine away from the wall and unplug the mains electrical supply. 2). Some machines have water two hoses (hot and cold) so isolate them using the isolators fitted to the supply pipes (if two). Most machines are now cold fill only and have one. Now disconnect the hoses from the machine. The isolator (isolators) have chrome taps fitted. To isolate move the lever on the isolator 90, so it sits across the pipe, do this for both, blue for cold and red for hot. Edgeware Plumbers can fit a new isolating valve. 3). Keep a container handy to collect any that leaks water from the valve. 4). The hoses should be hand tight, but have a wrench handy. Check that isolation valves are closed and not leaking. Isolator leak:1). Isolate the water supply at the main stop-cock this time. Drain the system at the kitchen sink.2). Open the faulty chrome tap to drain away the last of the water.3). Unscrew the nut at the rear of the valve and take off.4). With a new one to hand you can now fit it. Use the old nut and olive if they are ok. Should the olive look damaged, use PTFE tape or even cut the pipe back and use a new nut and olive on the new pipe end.
