The stationary placement of the washing machine in the bathroom or kitchen is justified. The heavy machine is connected to the network and communications, so you are unlikely to want to just move it.
However, in case of repair, relocation or purchase of a new AGR, the washing machine must be turned off correctly. After reading the article, you will understand how to do it right without compromising technology.

To disconnect yourself, you may need:
- wrench;

To work with rusted parts, use WD-40. This "liquid key" will help you quickly deal with rusty, soured parts.
How to disconnect the washing machine from the water supply? We will tell in more detail:
- Make sure that the washer is not running, then unplug the machine. If the connection was through an extension cord - disconnect it as well.
- Turn off the water supply. To do this, turn the shut-off valves all the way. Usually they are located behind the AGR and are attached to the wall.
- Access the back of the washing machine. If you do this yourself, pull one corner, then the other, alternately. Together, the task is easier to carry out, because you can simultaneously make an effort and rearrange the car. Be careful not to strain the hoses and to prevent premature disconnection.
- Remove the inlet hose. Use a wrench if it is secured with nuts and a screwdriver to remove the clamp clockwise.
- With the water collecting container below, disconnect the hose from the AGR. Drain any remaining water, then disconnect the other end of the hose from the valve by turning clockwise.
- Detached wire and hose, attach it to the wall of the washing machine.
- Disconnect the drain hose from the washing machine and the sewer, draining the remaining water into a bucket. Then attach it to the SM wall on the bracket.
- Clean the loose nozzles from dirt with a brush. Carefully fasten all disconnected parts with adhesive tape so that they are not damaged or lost if you carry the washer.
- Take care of fixing the drum. During transportation, it can be damaged, so use special bolts or pieces of foam for mounting.
- Collect all the spare parts in one place and pack them.
- Make sure there is no water left in the system. Otherwise, during shaking, water may enter the control unit, which will lead to its malfunction.
It is advisable to let the washing machine and all its parts dry before transporting. To do this, open the door hatch and leave the washing machine to stand for a day.
Now you know how to properly disconnect the washing machine from the water supply. Therefore, avoid unnecessary problems when moving or transporting.
The main thing is to always adhere to safety precautions, disconnect the device from the mains first.
