machine
A machine is a physical system using power to apply forces and control movement to perform an action. The term is commonly applied to artificial devices, such those employing engines or motors, but also to natural biological macromolecules, such as molecular machines. Machines can be driven by animals and people, by natural forces such as wind and water, and by chemical, thermal, or electrical power, and include a system of mechanisms that shape the actuator input to achieve a specific application of output forces and movement. They can also include computers and sensors that monitor performance and plan movement, often called mechanical systems.
Renaissance natural philosophers identified six simple machines which were the elementary devices that put a load into motion, and calculated the ratio of output force to input force, known today as mechanical advantage.Modern machines are complex systems that consist of structural elements, mechanisms and control components and include interfaces for convenient use. Examples include: a wide range of vehicles, such as automobiles, boats and airplanes; appliances in the home and office, including computers, building air handling and water handling systems; as well as farm machinery, machine tools and factory automation systems and robots.
Hey guys.
What's the best way to absorb washing machine vibrations?
It's currently on a suspended floor and sounds like a rocket take off.
I've got lots of polystyrene I could put underneath to absorb vibrations or any other material you could recommend.
Many thanks
Hi all
I have a washing machine plumbed in next to a built in dishwasher but have an issue with the waste outlet for the washer.
the problem I have discovered (as I did not plumb both in) is that when the dishwasher is in place, it is crushing the washer waste pipe. See photos below.

Hi all,
I hope you can help. I’ve recently moved into a property and have connected my washing pipe, and it’s washing fine, but leaving my under sink shelves soaked. I think it’s coming from the water source (pictured) and not the waste water pipe. It looks to be screwed on tight so not sure...
Hi,
Hopefully this is an easy fix......
I have moved into a house and some of the work is 'interesting', things you never see when looking originally. Our latest problem is that the sink fills with water when the washing machine empties and also when you empty the adjacent 0.5 sink. The...
When my washing machine pumps out, after about 20 seconds, water starts overflowing out of the top of the downpipe behind the cupboard. I have removed that waste pipe, the ubend and the 90' connector to the off white connection to the down pipe from the sink waste pipework, and there is no...
Hello, I need to disconnect my washing machine for several days however i am confused on how to turn off the cold water flow to the washing machine. I have taken a photo. There is no lever from what i can see. Do anyone know what i need to do with this?
Hi all. We are trying to install a new washing machine in our home. The previous owners had a slot for a washing machine. We noticed that there is only one hose in the wall. I would have expected an inlet for fresh water and an outlet to drain away dirty water. Image attached. How do we use this...
Hi,
I'm attempting to install a washing machine for the first time ... am I right in thinking the cold only fill hose attaches above the little blue lever? - I just undo that brass cap? Thanks for any advice.
(I live in the UK so if supplying products please sugest UK items - many thanks)
I need some advice on how to fit a Washing machine/Dishwasher. Any feedback/ideas would me much appreciated.
Currently the sink is set up with one of these dual sink wash traps (see image or link at the bottom of...
Should it be possible to add a couple of washing machine style tee valves in the middle of these copper pipes?
Forgive the basic question, but I am an inexperienced home owner. Thinking of giving it a try myself today.
Would this risk reducing our tap water flow from the pipes continuing...
Hi, first time on this forum but I could use some washing machine waste advice.
My brother and I are redecorating our entire house, including the rather small kitchen. We'd like to move the washing machine which is currently in the kitchen to make room for a dishwasher.
An ideal location for...
Hi,
We live in a rented property and have recently started having an issue with the kitchen sink. When we using the sink the water drains straight into the washing machine, when the washing machine is on the water bubbles up into the sink. We have tried various unblockers, a drain blaster and a...
Hi, we've just moved into our first house and I'm trying to install a new washing machine. however between the machine and the sink is an integrated dishwasher. This is making it extremely difficult to install. To make matters worse, the inlet tap for the washing machine is so tight to the...
Currently the Dishwasher has it's own waste outlet to the outside, the sink and Washing Machine share one.
Designing a new kitchen we will have all of them sharing one waste outlet - is this do-able or full of problems?
Looking for some opinions on whether something is wrong with our plumbing under the kitchen sink plumbing.
Basically, whenever the washing machine drains we get a flow up into the kitchen sink of the waste water along with dirt from inside the pipe. We've had Homeserve plumbers out and they...
I've done a good few but this one is super-tight and on bare floorboards so could get stuck. What do you guys use to make pushing it in easier? Bit of ply or something?
