Moving to a new rental house, need help washer/dryer

Interestingly....

Whirlpool.co.uk doesn't mention anything in their user manuals about getting a tech to reinstall them...just that, in relation to transporting the machine - 6. Fit transport bolts (obligatory)

With transporting the old 1947 and 1976 westys; there was just a mess of 3/8" / 10mm rods one placed to hold the tub to the frame

With the new 2010 LG FL washer; there are 4 bolts that are in plastic sleeves that go through the washers back into the giant ears on the plastic tub. One removes these on install and replaces them on moving. They are simple to screw in. One has to move the tub to get the first one and two in place; then the other 2 are easy.

Exactly....it's easy.

We have a KitchenAid Ensemble washer and dryer, which are Duet clones. The delivery people didn't leave the original shipping bolts when they installed the washer so I cannot attest to whether they are resusable or not. However, when we moved last year I ordered replacement shipping bolts and they were very easy to install ourselves. No service tech required.

I moved my Duet without any bolts. Bought it used and had to pick it up and move it to my basement. It did bounce around a bit, more than it should have. End result was one of the struts came apart. Really no big deal, just tilt the machine back far enough and shift the tub and it drops back in. IF I had the shipping bolts, fine, but it you are moderately gentle with it, it can easily be moved. Real life takes precedence over the manual's directions....
