How to Install the Indesit IWSC51051 Washer (Step-by-Step Guide).

Installing your Indesit IWSC51051 washer the right way ensures smooth performance, safety, and long-term durability. Follow this complete step-by-step guide to set up your appliance with ease.

 1- Unpack the Appliance:

  • Carefully remove the washing machine from its packaging.
  • Check for any visible damage during transportation. If damaged, do not proceed — contact your retailer.
  • Unscrew and remove the 4 transport bolts and rubber washers from the back of the machine.
  • Use the plastic plugs provided to cover the holes.
  • Store the removed parts in a secure location for future use if you need to move the appliance.
  • Note: Never let children play with packaging materials — they can be hazardous.

2- Position and Level the Machine:

  • Place the washing machine on a flat, solid surface, away from walls or furniture.
  • If your floor is uneven, adjust the front feet by loosening or tightening them until the machine is level.
  • The machine must not tilt more than 2° in any direction.
  • If placing it on carpet, ensure there’s enough airflow underneath for ventilation.
  • Proper leveling prevents excessive vibration, noise, and shifting during wash cycles.

3- Connect the Water Supply:

  • Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap using a ¾ gas-threaded connector.
  • Let water run briefly before connecting, to flush out any debris.
  • Attach the other end of the hose to the water inlet on the top-right side of the machine.
    Ensure the hose is not bent or kinked.
  • Do not use second-hand hoses — always use the ones provided.
  • If the hose isn’t long enough, use only compatible extensions as advised by professionals.

4- Set Up the Drain Hose:

  • Attach the drain hose to a wall drain or pipe, ensuring it is positioned between 65 cm and 100 cm in height.
  • Alternatively, rest it on the side of a sink or bathtub, securing it with the clamp provided.
  • The hose should not be submerged in water, as it can cause drainage issues.

5- Electrical Connection:

  • Connect the washing machine to a grounded power outlet that complies with safety regulations.
  • Make sure the voltage and power capacity match the machine’s requirements (check the technical data label).
  • Do not use extension cords or multi-plugs.
  • The power cable should be laid out without bends or pressure points.
  • Always keep the socket easily accessible for emergencies.
  • Warning: Never install the washing machine outdoors or in damp environments.

6- Run the First Wash Cycle (Empty):

  • Before using the machine for laundry, run a full wash cycle with detergent only (no clothes) using program 2.
  • This helps clean out the internal system and remove any residue from the manufacturing process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

It’s best to run the initial empty wash cycle once, immediately after installation. This cleans the machine’s internal parts and removes any factory residues. After that, follow a regular washing schedule according to your laundry needs.

First, check that the machine is properly leveled using the adjustable feet, and ensure it is not touching walls or furniture. Placing it on a firm, flat surface and adjusting the feet usually eliminates most vibrations. If the noise persists, consult the troubleshooting section or contact authorized service.

Yes, but only use compatible hoses that match the original dimensions and quality standards. The inlet hose should not be longer than 150 cm, and always use new, high-quality hoses. For safety and warranty reasons, it’s better to get them from authorized suppliers or a certified technician.

Make sure the cold water tap provides water pressure within the range specified in the technical data table (typically between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa). Too low pressure can prevent the machine from filling properly, while too high can damage the hoses or parts. Always use the supplied hose and never use second-hand ones.

Yes — but ensure there is adequate ventilation under the machine. Adjust the front feet so the base is stable, not rocking, and maintains a 2° inclination or less. This prevents vibrations and allows the motor to cool properly.

If water isn’t draining, first check that the hose isn’t kinked or clogged. Clean the end of the hose and ensure it’s not submerged underwater. Run a short rinse cycle to flush debris. If the problem continues, refer to the troubleshooting guide and, if needed, contact an authorized technician.

Yes — but you must replace the transport screws and rubber washers before moving it. Keep them safely, and reinstall when you replace the machine. Always level the machine again at the new location to avoid vibration and ensure the safety of operation.
