Closet Laundry Install Done (Asko)
Comments (15)Hello all I have had the Asko washer for years. Mine has the exra door. I got mine from local dealer. ordinarily it wasnt a stock item. Luckily for me someone returned it. Salesman said the lady didnt like the long wash times. Smile. Mine too is in a tight converted 1/2 of a very small bedroom with a toilet, bidet and little corner sink. I always prop open the outer door with a rubber bumpy ball and the inner door ajar. Oh the laundry washer pans ,nice ones anyway, wasnt available so I had one in heavy aluminum, made up and welded from a metal shop. I've had the same fill hose that came with it, Havent had a lick of trouble with the fill hose.My regular laundry older set is in the basement and there I have the stainless steel braided hose. I love my Asko. I love the way it heats its own water. We plumbed both hot and cold anyway. Had to replace the motor several years ago.We sent for it and installed it ourselves. Mine empties into the little corner sink or outside during the drier weather to water lawn etc. Hubby drilled a hole in floor to crawl space then drilled thru the house brick. this is behind shrub. We used that 1 1/4 " sump pump corrugated hose I rather had a solid pvc pipe going thru the small crawl space run but the hole in floor is close to a stud etc. The outlet hose fits neatly into a pvc pipe thats prob 18 inches tall under sink. so I can easily switch back and forth. Another house we have both Asko washer and dryer stacked. That washer hs no outer door Unfortunately the other nite while sko baby was running I heard a pop ,like the sound of a "circuit breaker tripping" So Im sad and will have to ask this forum what it might be Course I checked the circuit, no it was not tripped. Unfortunely being 220 I cant jut check the receptacle with a nite light etc. Jean Just chiming in with my opinions and observations....See MoreWould you do this in your house? A laundry closet?
Comments (26)gramarows, thanks for the thoughts. The water lines come out the side of the washer? Mine would require an access panel in the middle of a bedroom wall. I think it is probably possible to do a panel from the side, which is a wall separating the (now) shower and the toilet. I talked with my contractor about having a shallow in-wall cabinet facing the toilet side, with a removable back to access the dryer vent. But then we got stymied by my requirement that the dryer vent go straight out, through the toilet area to the outside wall so that I can access it to clean it without having to get someone to go into the crawlspace (as it is now) or the attic. I want to be able to clean it myself and I just can't figure out how to vent it. I think I could have an above toilet cabinet with a false bottom or something that the vent hose could pass through to the outside wall, but I just get frustrated trying to figure it out. He just thinks it should go up or down through the wall from the dryer and then outside from the attic or crawl space. I think I need a new set of eyes to try to figure it out, as we are at an impasse and I just procrastinate doing the whole thing....See Morelaundry - closet doors vs cabinets?
Comments (2)IMO a bad idea and the W/D will block the windows in what appears to be a nice front porch. Could you post a floor plan of the whole house IMO you do not have space for what you plan. Also you need to post pics of the actual space you are using....See MoreHelp with Design Renovating Laundry and Mud Room Closet
Comments (25)A few updates and I will get some better pictures once i get everything moved out but i have the door into the bathroom cut in. I have been having trouble with Pella who we bought the door from which has put this on a 3 week hold so far as the issue still is not resolved. We are considering stacking the washer dryer. The location we were considering would be where the closest machine to the wall is. The plumbing in the wall was moved over to allow for the new door to the bath and I have some electrical lines that need installing for the new panel in the garage. Doing this while we have the walls open and since the electrical panels are below this. We have a few tiles we bought to see if we liked them but I am not sure i like any of them. I think if i were to pick it would be the darker 12x24. Any thoughts or opinions on tile, stacking of the machine or anything else here?...See MoreK L
