ᐅ Lifting the washing machine out

It looks similar in our case. We moved the washing machine into the corner 13 years ago. Before that, we placed it on the bathtub. It was quite difficult to do with two people. There isn’t much more space for extra hands in our bathroom, nor is it practical for more people to help with the washing machine. The toilet is located opposite the washing machine (on the other side of the wall). Without removing it, the washing machine can only be taken out by lifting it out of the corner. We’re planning the move with a company anyway, so experienced movers will likely handle it on their own.

Tilt it backward, place the fleece underneath at the front. Tighten the strap around and pull it out. The washing machine is ready.

According to the original poster’s description, the towel warmer is in the way, preventing the washing machine from being pulled out. However, he does not feel confident enough in his (nonexistent) DIY skills to remove the towel rail, as he does not want to risk any damage.

If the towel radiator is electric, I would remove it. There are only a handful of screws.
However, if it is connected to the central heating system, I would leave it in place.

Hello,


It's not witchcraft, of course, but it's not that simple either.
The water supply alone isn't enough. What about the return flow? Is it shut-off capable?
Is there even a drain available?
Especially in multi-family homes, significant water damage can occur quickly.
Destroying possibly chrome-plated fittings with a pipe wrench?
The landlord will surely not be happy about that.

Since the drain valve is usually located at the lowest point of the system, the return line should be emptied accordingly so that it can be closed.

This generally goes far beyond the topic, as this is certainly not a solution for the original poster.
