How Do You Move A Whirlpool Front Loading Washing Machine?
Front-loading washing machines are quite popular, since they’re made to conserve energy and wring out laundry well. The washer drum is oriented sideways and suspended inside the box of the metal body. To avoid damage, the drum of a washing machine must be protected from bouncing up and down while in transit. Manufacturers use protective safeguards when shipping a washer; these are available to consumers for safe relocation of a front-loading machine. Unplug the Whirlpool washer and loosen the hoses from the bibs. Hold the hose openings up while removing the connectors from the washer; this will avoid spilling trapped water. Dump the hoses out, cover the brass connectors and secure the hoses inside the drum. Pull the drain hose out of the wall drain and tape it upright to the back of the machine with duct tape. Slip the plastic washers over the transit bolts and thread them into the holes in back of the machine. Tighten the bolts with an adjustable wrench. Whirlpool front loading models
