Preparing washing machine transit bolts

Wrapping a washing machine does not replace preparation of its internal moving parts. Check the model's instructions to establish its transit-bolt requirements.

Preparing washing machine transit bolts

Before you start

Identify the model and the transport fittings you already have. Do not substitute random screws for missing bolts; confirm suitable parts with the manufacturer or service provider.

Practical steps

  • Agree who will safely disconnect water and electricity.
  • Have a competent person follow the manual's drainage and transport-lock instructions.
  • Pack hoses, covers and accessories with the appliance's identification label.

Checks on arrival

During installation, transport fittings must be removed as instructed and connections checked. Confirm that installation is complete before running the machine.

What to include in your quote request

Add the quantity, approximate dimensions and preparation status to your inventory. Include the floor, lift and vehicle access at both addresses. Photos help with the initial assessment. Confirm responsibility for packing, dismantling and reassembly in the written quote.

Manufacturer example; check your own model instructions: Bosch
