How to Connect Your Washing Machine In Japan

I was so happy to get a free washing machine!! Okay, well I won’t say free because I paid a family 2000 yen to get the washing machine to my place. But let’s say it was nearly free. Anyhow the washer has been sitting in my bathroom for the last few days. I took a look at it earlier, and it didn’t seem so tough, but I wanted to make a video documenting the steps on how to do it just in case you’re a complete newbie (much like I am). Yes, even a newbie can do this! This video assumes that your washing machine is already in it’s proper holding position and that you have all necessary connecting tubes and equipment. I was fortunate because the seller provided everything for me, and had taken good care of the machine that I was getting. If you don’t have the water intake or water output tubes, you should be able to find them pretty easily at an electronics store or a home improvement store.

I hope that helps,
