Moving Tips

  1. 1Install the transit bolts (shipping bolts) before moving to lock the drum in place and prevent internal damage.
  2. 2Drain all water from the machine and hoses the day before — run an empty spin cycle first.
  3. 3Use an appliance dolly with straps and always keep the washer upright.
  4. 4Never carry a washer by the door — it can break the hinges or seal.
