Hallo Leute
Kleine Sanitärfrage. Ich wohne in einer schönen Altbauwohnung, die Wohnung verfügt über eine Waschmaschine im Badezimmer, die an den Strom angeschlossen ist, wie auf dem Bild gezeigt. Der rechte Anschluss ist undicht geworden und hat das Badezimmer überflutet. Ich habe den Vermieter kontaktiert, muss aber das Wasser abstellen.
Ist das Ventil hier (die weiße Kunststoffoberseite und die Metallunterseite) zum Drehen ausgelegt? Ich kann es nicht mit der Hand bewegen, aber vielleicht brauche ich eine Zange? Der "klopfen" ist auch schwer zu bewegen.
Vielen Dank!

Turn the tap.
Left one is waste water line, right one is supply.
Where exactly is the leak? What part of the connection?
> Is the valve here (the white plastic top and metallic bottom) designed to be turned? I can’t get it to budge via hand but maybe I need a pair of pliers? The „tap“ is tough to move too.
That’s the connector, not a valve. In fact there is no valve in the photo you shared. You simply need to switch off the water supply by using the handle; you’ll need to turn it to the left.
Turning the plastic connector to the left is how you disconnect the tube from the faucet. There’s a rubber seal inside, and it’s quite likely that it got brittle over time and started leaking, it’s a rubber o-ring inside of the plastic. You can get them for like 10 cents in every DIY shop.
Either try with pliers or use a towel, if it’s leaking and your fingers are wet it’s easy to slide out of your grip. When using pliers, be careful not to use too much power or you might crack the plastic.
So the thing with the blue dot on top is supposed to close off the water supply. If anything else still leaks, you have to close your main water supply
The part with the blue dot is supposed to be a faucet to turn the water on the right side off.
If it’s not turning don’t force it! Because those taps are used so rarely, they can calcify and if you force it it’ll just worsen your leak.
Ask me how I know.
