Is it OK to transport a vintage Maytag washer lying down on the backside or does it have to be transported in the upright position? |

not that it has any real effect on some machines.....but it may help sometimes to open the unit and secure/center the tub and suspension for transport....
these noodles are inexpensive, quick, and easy to install!....just a thought CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK |

(Bumping an old thread, as it seems like the best place for related questions. :-) )
For the center-dial Maytags, is there anything wrong with transporting a washer laying down on its FRONT? Obviously you would have to be extra careful during the loading, and it would have to be laying on something both flat and soft... But are there any structural or other reasons why it shouldn't be done? Second question: Aside from opening up the panels to insert padding to stabilize the tub, are there any other "gotchas" for sideways transport? (Example: does the bleach dispenser get knocked around? Or are there any differences for suds-saver models?) Thanks |

The machine should not be on its front as the tub support bracket will dig into the front panel.It should be on its side only.Maytag made a shipping ring that went in the tub opening and it is preferable to have that in place to prevent damage. |

this thought did hit me......and these have worked out so far on a number of machines......they can be altered to fit a number of different situations....

Is best with the washer on its side or back, if you don't have the shipping ring take the front panel off and pack heavy foam or padding around the top areas of the tub to keep it from moving around too much and denting the outer cabinet.
Do Not put anything inside the tub as this will not help at all and can actually increase the chance of damage by making the suspended tub assembly heaver.

I don't have a picture but it was a white plastic maybe 3 inches tall.There must be some around.I have a few but I am hoarding them,(among other things)use them all the time.At one time time I had an arsenal I used to save them from every delivery. |
