Which installation service do you need for your washing machine?

You have your eye on a new washing machine that you would like to have delivered. Think about which installation service you need beforehand. This is useful if you want to have your dryer on top of your washing machine, for example. Read which installation services Coolblue offers here. You can add these to your order when you purchase the washing machine.

Install washing machine at desired location

If we install your washing machine at the desired location, our installers will do the following for you:

  • Place the washing machine at the desired location.
  • Level the appliance.
  • Connect it to the water supply and drain.
  • Take the old washing machine with us.

We recommend connecting the washing machine to a grounded socket.

Place dryer on top of washing machine

If you want to place your dryer on top of your washing machine, this works best with a stacking kit. A stacking kits makes sure your dryer is stable on the washing machine. This means you don't have to worry about it falling off during the cycle. If you buy a washing machine or dryer with a stacking kit, we'll install the appliances in your home.

Prepare for our delivery drivers

Prepare a few things if you choose our installation service.

  • Make sure the drain pipe for your appliance is at least 15cm.
  • Check the width of the doorposts, hallways, and stairwells that our delivery drivers have to go through. This way you're sure that we can deliver the appliance.

Note: changing the door direction isn't possible

There's no installation service for changing the door direction of the washing machine. We don't adjust the standard door direction as this can cause leakage. Some washing machines also have sensors in the door connection. Changing the door direction then causes problems. Check the door direction and whether it suits your circumstances before you buy. For example, if you put your dryer on top of or next to your washing machine.
