Problem with MDF & washing machine/dishwasher is WATER. It will soon break
down

Try a piece of hardboard instead, pull in out afterwards.

To lift the back of washing machine/dishwasher, simple,

Dishwasher first, open door place hands & forearms in like fork lift, close
door until it presses against forearms, press against door with knees & lean
back, they weigh less than 40Kg so waddle backwards. This does hurt a bit
but it WORKS

Washing machine, open door, reach in & grab drum rim with one hand, place
toes against plinth line of washing machine, place other hand against front
of worktop, pull drum rim towards you while pushing against worktop, the
back of the machine will lift off floor, because the front cant move
forwards

If you had lifted the front of the machine & slid in the piece of hardboard
first, the machine will then slide forward as you shuffle back, until back
feet are over the hardboard, then lower back & pull. Make sure the back of
the hardboard does not sit in top of the rear foot flange, the feet are like
inverted T, if there are wheels at back [washing machine not D/W] no need
for hardboard, BUT watch out for the front of the flooring of the fitters
did not run it right under the machine.

TURN OFF WATER FIRST!!

I still have to do this now & again.

Have just spent a horrendous few hours removing the above from my fitted
kitchen in preparation for new flooring . Trouble is that they are both
boxed in quite tightly and with the worksurface on top there's no way of
getting any lift at the back of the appliances. Given that they're very
heavy there was no option but to just pull and drag but I don't fancy
pushing and heaving to get them back never mind what their square metal
feet
are likely to do to my new floor.

Sheet of MDF.
Place MDF in front of the washing machine/... space.
Place washing machine on top of the MDF.
Push into place.
