I may be picking up a used Neptune today. Is there any harm in transporting it on its side? |

The older Newton born Neppies do not have the securing bolts. They were originally shipped with yellow straps around the tub and attached to the pallet. You were supposed to cut one end and pull it completely out. Many just cut both ends and when I open them up for service, there are the straps dangling around.
The newer Samsung 'Neptunes' did have bolts thru the back for shipment but it is highly not recommended by Maytag to try putting them back as many people try and end up cracking the tub by not lining the bolts up before hammering them home. On the back is fine. I've seen them on the side and water normally should not leak out of the tub as the vents are up top... Sitting upright is always preferred... RCD |
