Install washer and dryer

Hello Michael, Unless you are planning on doing major reno to your Condo you are out of luck. The dryer requires a 220v receptacle and a way to exaust it. You are not alound to hook up a dryer to the bathroom fan. All you will be doing is blowing the humid air into your bathroom. Secound your washer would requir Hot and Cold water plus a drain for the water to go. I am not sure why they would say the pipes are to old.....that does not make sense but I can understand that the laundry room should have a floor drain in order to prevent a flood in the other units should your washing machine back up.Im guesing that they have washer and dryers in the basement that are coin operated in order to generate more income for the building.

Hope this helps

Thanks, Rene.

I was hoping that because the washer would be installed next to the bathroom, the hot and cold water pipes could feed from the bathroom sink to the washer, and the drain would just feed into the sink drain.

As for the dryer, I was reading that if I had two free 110V receptacles, those could be used to power the dryer (220V). But I`m not sure... (although I`ve seen some dryers you can buy that are 110V). And with venting, is it not possible to somehow use the current vent system for the bathroom or the oven vent?

Thanks for your insight.
