During the transportation of household appliances it is important not to break anything and not spoil it. That's why the transport bolts on the washing machine are provided. They fix the tank, which is suspended from the springs.

What are the fixings for?

If we talk in more detail about what this fixation is for, we should note the following. During transportation, the washing machine can shake, bend over, bump against solid objects. External walls can be protected with a sealant, for example, foam. The hose can be pressed with clamps. And what about the inner details that can shake and beat? They decided to fix them with bolts. Fixing helps to save not only the tank, but also shock absorbers with bearings, as well as other moving parts.

It is clear that after the final installation, the transport bolts in the washing machines must be removed. If you do not, the machine may fail.

Most importantly, guarantees do not extend to such a breakdown. It is believed that you must correctly install the machine, and removing the bolts is related to this procedure.

.

Carefully inspect the back and top of your home appliances. Check the instructions for the location of all the fasteners to avoid missing them. There are non-standard models on which it is difficult to notice the fixing parts. After reading the installation instructions, you will clearly know how many bolts must be removed.

How to remove and reinstall

That's what needs to be done, when you brought the car home, unpacked and ready to turn it on for the first time.

• Find the bolts. They are located on the back of the washing machine or in the upper part of the washing machine. Some machines use simple pins with thread (studs), but it is not difficult to find them out.
• Unscrew bolts using a car key or combination pliers. Pins are conveniently removed with pliers. Hold the pin firmly, and turn it slightly counter-clockwise. After that it is easy to pull out.
• Holes from the fasteners are plugged with special plastic caps, which come complete with a washing machine. Blanks play a decorative role and to some extent reduce the spread of noise when washing.

.

We advise you not to throw away the transportation bolts at once, as they can be useful to you in the future. Perhaps you will change your place of residence, and you will have to transport the washing machine again.

.

Re-fixing the drum is quite simple. It is necessary to use a screwdriver to stop the plugs to pull them out. Then you need to insert the bolts and tighten. After that, you can pack the machine and transport it safely, without fear of breakdowns.
