In the past I have used a sack truck, or just opened w/m door and hauled
it out from under a kitchen work-surface as best I can.

The only snag, is that lino, or kitchen covering is sometimes caught,
causing a tear and making the w/m even more difficult to extract.

Is there a better way?


Raise the front and slide a couple of small planks of wood underneath.

Then slide the appliance on the planks of wood

I keep a stock of slats taken from "cut-down" wooden venetian blinds for
this. Also useful for other spacing jobs.


I keep a double bend sign for this job.
