Washing machine install - taping pipes to side

[Mark Hersey]

Hello. I have a little problem with my integrated washing machine Unfortunately it overhangs the rest of my units by just a few mm.

To create a bit more space, I've taped the pipes to the side of the washing machine. See pics here:

I know this isn't ideal but, short of getting a different machine that fits properly, I can't do much else to get it level.

So, how problematic is this likely to be? I've run one wash and it seems to be okay. Its a Neff, if that makes a difference (I'm hoping good build quality means I may be able to get away with this).

They should be fine but keep an eye on them

Thank you. By keep an eye, do you mean for the rest of the life of the machine? Or run a few rest cycles and see what happens?

Top elbow/ bend is a little sharp however should be fine. Nothing to keep an eye on there.

Should be ok providing you dont crush them pushing the machine back. Kop
