Crosley produces a line of home appliances such as refrigerators, ranges, freezers, washing machines and dryers. If you purchase a new or used Crosley washer and dryer set you can install the units yourself instead of hiring an installation technician, saving time and money. Installation is a relatively simple and straightforward procedure that requires a few basic hand tools and approximately half an hour. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
Dryer Installation
1. Place the Crosley dryer in the laundry area in front of the power outlet on the wall and gas outlet, if applicable. Leave enough room to work behind the dryer.
2. Connect the dryer vent hose to the rear vent opening on the lower backside of the dryer.
3. Wrap a hose clamp around the end of the dryer vent hose, where it connects to the vent opening. Connect the slotted end of the hose clamp to the screw end and tighten using a flathead screwdriver. Tighten until secure.
4. Connect the free end of the dryer vent hose to the exterior vent opening on the wall and repeat Step 3 with a second hose clamp around the exterior vent opening and the dryer hose.
5. Turn off the gas line at the main shut off valve in your home. Turn the dryer breaker off in the breaker box in your home.
6. Connect a flexible metal hose approved for gas lines to the gas outlet on the upper rear portion of the dryer. Tighten using a wrench. Line up the threads on the hose with the threads on the dryer gas connector. Skip this step if using an electric Crosley dryer.
7. Connect the other end of the metal hose to the gas outlet behind the dryer and tighten with a wrench. Line up the threads on the hose with the threads on the wall gas connector. Skip this step if using an electric Crosley dryer.
8. Plug the power cord from the dryer into an available power outlet. If using an electric dryer the plug is 240 volt plug; if using a gas dryer the plug is a 120 volt plug.
9. Push the dryer back against the wall, leaving approximately 3 to 6 inches of space between the dryer and the wall.
10. Turn on the gas line at the main shut-off valve in your home. Turn the dryer breaker on in the breaker box in your home.
Washer Installation
11. Place the Crosley washer in the laundry area in front of the hot and cold water hookups. Leave enough room to work behind the washer.
12. Turn the washer breaker off in the breaker box in your home.
13. Connect the end of one washer hose to the hot water hookup on the wall. Connect the other end of the hose to the hot water hookup on the rear of the washer. Tighten both connections using a set of pliers. The hot water hookups should have labels on both the wall and the washer; if not the hot water hookup is usually on the left side of the washer and wall.
14. Connect the end of a second washer hose to the cold water hook up on the wall. Connect the other end of the hose to the cold water hookup on the rear of the washer. Tighten both connections using a set of pliers. The cold water hookups should have labels on both the wall and the washer; if not the cold water hookup is usually on the right side of the washer and wall.
15. Point the end of the washer drain pipe downward and hook it on the edge of the standpipe (if applicable) or edge of the laundry sink (if applicable).
16. Turn on the hot and cold water by twisting both valves counterclockwise fully.
