How do you move your washer dryer combination?

When you move your washer dryer combination, follow these 4 steps:

• Step 1: drain all the water
• Step 2: lock the drum
• Step 3: move the washer dryer combination upright
• Step 4: reconnect the washer dryer combination

Drain all the water from the appliance first. Close the water supply of the washer dryer combination. Next, remove the supply hose from the water supply. Keep a bucket at hand to collect the water left in the hose. Also remove the drain hose and empty it as well. Finally, remove the water from the filter. Put a tower in front of the filter to collect the water.

When you move, it's important you protect the drum. That's why you lock the drum with transit bolts. You still have these from the first installation. These bolts make sure the drum doesn't shake or get damaged during transport. In the manual of the washer dryer combination, you can read how and where to lock the bolts. This differs per appliance. Make sure you save the bolts again after the move.

Make sure the washer dryer combination is always upright. This way, the drum is stable and there's no extra pressure on the pipes of the appliance. Always lift the washer dryer combination with 2 people. The appliance is awkward to lift on your own, and it's also very heavy. It's even easier if you use a hand trolley or stair climbing cart. If the appliance is in the cart, secure it tightly. This prevents the appliance from sliding during the drive.

After transport, you're almost done with moving your washer dryer combination. The last step is the connection. Lift the appliance upright to the desired spot and connect it. Make sure you remove the transit bolts before you run a cycle. Also make sure the washer dryer combination is level, to prevent vibrations and noise. After you connect the drain hose and supply hose, you can use the appliance again.
