We need a new washing machine and can get good deals at the Sears scratch

But it seems that new washing machines may have some sort of drum lock
that
you remove after instalation. If it has one, well if there is lock for
upright shipping what about no lock transported on it side.

Oh and of course the reason is we can transport it on its side ways but
not
upright in my wife Vue.



I have never heard that you couldn't move a washer on it's side. The
issue would be further "scratching and denting" it.

It just seems like the drums are I don't know more flexible in their mounts
these days. Also this would be a top load.

And getting into the basement is going to scratch it up more than
transporting it.
