New Washing Machine From Argos
19 Answers
good evening
my washing machine spectacularly committed suicide today, after many many years - and so i went to argos on line and bought a new one
i paid the extra for delivery and to take away the old one, and i was wondering if that deal included disconnecting the old one and connecting in the new one - or do they want me to do those bits?
assuming some of you have had a new washing machine from argos recently, i hope to receive a satisfactory response
thank you very much

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.They offer a deliver set up and take away for freezers...if they do for washers it will show in your optional extra bit on site...not much to it though....pay attention to where hoses are connected as you disconnect...and reinstall....most new washers only have a cold feed nowadays...only one hose to connect..plug in...hey presto ! Did mine myself....dimples !

Argos do a Deliver Install and Recycle service for washing machines...£8.95
Dont just turn the hot supply off at the appliance tap and leave it ...
and whatever else you do dont try to fit a cap on the end of the hot pipe,
it wont fit as the hot pipe has a female end (so does the cap).
Turn the tap off and then remove the old hot hose by unscrewing it.
The 3/4" cap should then be fitted to the exposed threaded section of the tap.
If the tap lever was then to be hit and released by mistake at a later date ... you wont be flooded out.
Better still ... when the delivery van arrives put the kettle on and make two cups of coffe ... 2 chocolate biscuits and a 3/4" appliance cap on the same plate... guaranteed to work.
