I'm getting a new washing machine and I'm wondering how easy it is to replace it myself. Do I just need to disconnect the hot and cold water lines, unplug it, and then hook everything back up again? Are there any extra steps I should know about?

Just to add, watch some installation videos before you dive in; they really help! Make sure all hoses are properly fitted and consider replacing old water hoses too since leaks can cause major problems. Follow these steps, and you'll be washing in no time!
Honestly, it’s easier than it sounds. Just take your time. Moving the washer can be the toughest part, so having a dolly or a friend to help is a good idea. Also, if you’re buying a new machine, many stores offer delivery and installation at a low cost, which might save you some hassle.
Yeah, it’s pretty straightforward! Just remember to unhook the old machine carefully and have some towels ready, as there will be water in the lines. Also, don’t forget to turn off the water valves before you start. And definitely check that your new washer is level after installation—makes a big difference! Just one tip: remove the shipping bolts from the new washer before moving it into place.
And make sure to double-check where you connect the drain hose too. You don’t want any leaks later!
Totally agree! Ensuring everything is secure will save you a ton of trouble later.
