If you have a shop vac, marry the drain hose from the washer to the suction hose on the shop vac and suck ass the water out of the sump. This way it wont get all over the inside of your Explorer.
Add some water back to the machine before operating the motor to make sure you don't have a dry sump. Malcolm |

this may help a bit.....presuming its a direct drive washer, and opened from the bottom, you would have to lay it down, and stuff these noodles up towards the top, maybe using a broom stick to reach up inside....it would at least hold the suspension in place......
I was thinking too, along the lines of a tire inner tube, insert from the top, and inflate to hold everything in place and centered......this only works if you have some sort of compressor handy... but never really had an issue with a direct drive transported laying down......most times it was better for you to place it on its front, mainly because of things like the water valves sticking out, and can get damaged...just make sure to use a blanket in any case....

What is the model number? If it's a direct drive, you should put the shipping pins back in to prevent the suspension plate and tub support from shifting all around. |

...the model number and am not sure what locking screws are.? They might be right next to the washer or something. Getting it out of a house that was rarely lived in and washer was hardly used. |
