    Washing Machine Pipes Under Sink
    I have plumbed my washing machine in correctly to pipes under the sink but there does not seem to be any water getting to the machine I have noticed on other ones there is a small blue and red tap on the hot and cold pipes under the sink mine does not seem to have this ! Have I got to turn something on the pipes under the sink to get the water flowing ?

    Thanks

    Thanx
    You should have hot and cold angle stops, (see image) that turn on the supplies to the faucet. If you have teed off the hot water to supply the washer turning on this stop will get water to it. Good luck, Tom
