Moving a washing machine by yourself is much more difficult than you think. There are several reasons why you should consider hiring a professional mover rather than moving it by yourself. Washer machines are heavy and big and requires extensive pre move preparation including disconnecting the washer from the power supply, turning off the water supply, draining the water hoses, placing the transit bolts, and more.
Before disconnecting and moving washer machine, you have to arrange few important things including a small bucket, old rags to absorb water, an appliance dolly, some duct tape, ropes or bungee cords, and hopefully a couple of willing helpers.
To begin, shut down the hot and cold-water valves and set the water to warm wash by turning it on for 30 seconds and then move the settings to spin so the water can drain out of the machine completely. Turn off the washer and unplug the electrical cord. Use the duct tape to tape the closed doors and carefully slide the washer on to the dolly or truck. If you are moving your washer up or downstairs, then you must secure it with ropes to prevent any damage.
After moving the washer, reconnecting it simpleby following a few extra details. First step Is to remove the duct tape and pull the stored hoses. Connect the fill hoses and do not overtight it over tightening can cause breakage and leaks.Coonect the wall water lines and connect the drain hose to the washer. Slide the washer into the place and make sure that the water Is in its proper level. Disturbance in the level creates vibrations and leakage and if you washer doesn’t have adjustable feet then you can use heavy cardboards for balancing it.
