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.

I have seen hardboard used with pledge under the hardboard and the shiny
side down. Slid in a treat.
