Washing Machine Installation

Step 1: Turn off cold and hot water to your washing machine as a preventative measure before proceeding.

Step 2: Line up the tip of a flat-head screwdriver with the edge of the circular plastic piece you want to remove from the washing machine outlet box.

Step 3: Hammer lightly on the butt of the screwdriver and move slowly around the edge of the plastic piece to break the seal. Stop when you've broken the seal approximately three quarters of the way around the circle. Do not break the seal all the way around the plastic piece, or it will fall into the drain.

Step 4: Insert the tip of the screwdriver into the perforation you've made and gently pry up the plastic piece.

Step 5: Clasp the edge of the plastic piece with a pair of pliers and gently twist and lift until the piece snaps free of the washing machine outlet box.
