You'd think installing a washer and dryer would be easy... but there are multiple issues with both of them....

What's wrong with them? They should be "plug and play" pretty much.

They sent aunt home with stomach meds.

unless it's an electric dryer and they brought the wrong 220 plug. but that's all I can think of

Dryer has 3 prong installed, need to install 4 prong. Some hero has torqued one of the terminal screws down until it's completely stripped out. I can't pull it out or turn it out or anything.

The wall "recepticle" where the water connections are normally located has no drain hole.

The wastewater hose clamp won't fit over the hose properly. Tightening it merely pinches the hose right off the nipple.

And I have installed multiple washer and dryers before so it's not like I'm learning as I go.

So I guess I'm back to beating my clothes on a rock down at the creek.

Would it be easier to install a 3 prong wall outlet?

I thought for sure they'd admit her.

I know if she doesn't get better they need to take her to a bigger hospital.

The 3 prong cord won't properly tighten either. It'd arc and be a fire hazard.

I don't miss delivering appliances at all.

Between wrong cords and fridges that didn't fit.

Removing older stovws/ovens with the grease all down the sides was also yucky.

yup

We got our dryer at a Sears scratch and dent outlet back when we moved in here. I was surprised that they don't come with chords. Have to buy it separately. I had to have a buddy run a 220 line for it because Mom always had a gas dryer.

 

[ancjr]

I don't think the 3 prong meet code anymore....

This is a very expensive house btw....

 

[ancjr]

I've used less than 10kwh every day starting the 9th.

All I have on is a few LED lights and a/c set at 76. Turned off the water heater.
