How to move a washing machine up stairs?

Your family relocation is quickly approaching, and you have a long list of tasks to complete. Another important issue of yours would be how to carry your heavy household appliances from your existing residence to your new residence. So let me tell you how to move a washing machine up stairs.

How to move a washing machine easily?

Because of the bulkier container and other equipment required to make a washing machine run effectively, it is heavier than a dryer. A washing machine's weight makes it more difficult to transport, especially upstairs.

How to transport a washing machine?

• First, you need to remove the electric cable from the washer and disconnect it from the wall socket.

• Follow the water supply lines from the back of the machine to the hot and cold control valves where they link. Turn the handles on the valves entirely clockwise to turn off the water supply to the washing machine.

• Then you need to unscrew the hose connections from the switch valves by rotating them counterclockwise with a screwdriver.

• Connect the drainage pipe to the top of the washer's control panel by removing it from the sink or fixed container.

• Place the bottom of the trolley under the washing machine's back bottom edge. 

• Place the trolley in the middle of the washer's back. 

• The machine will be towed from the back with the trolley, which will prevent the trolley from damaging the cabinet.

• Wrap the trolley rope around the machine and fasten it on the trolley’s other side. 

• Make sure the machine is firmly attached to the trolley so it doesn't move around throughout the transport.

• You need to disconnect the hose connections from the shutdown valves with the help of a screwdriver.

• Wrap the trolley rope around the machine and fasten it on the other side of the trolley.

• You need to back up the steps by pushing the trolley with the machine on it. 

• Pull the trolley’s wheels up one step at a time until you make it to the top, leaning the machine back slightly.
