Step 3 · Position the Washing Machine

This is the step people usually slow down on. Go finger-tight first, then a quarter turn. No rush — replay the clip whenever it helps.

Gently and carefully pull the washing machine away from the wall. You need to create enough space to comfortably stand or kneel behind it and access the hose connections on both the wall and the back of the machine. Be mindful of the drain hose and the power cord; do not pull the machine out so far that you stretch or disconnect them.
