<p class="info-desc">
Drum washers are not designed for frequent disassembly and installation.<br>
Top load washing machines are more suited to disassembly and installation unless the installation site is too small for the entry of the round tub.<br>
It’s not possible to install the machine in a space so narrow that the internal round tub can’t enter.<br>
The job of moving the machine includes disassembling and reassembling of all of the parts inside a top load washing machine and thus needs a professional service technician.
</p>
<h2 class="tit">Causes and Symptoms</h2>

<li>There is a space for installing the machine on my veranda, but I can’t enter it because of the small entrance.</li>

<li>The entrance to the bathroom is too small for the washing machine.</li>

<li>After the first installation, where you disassembled and installed the product, you will again have to disassemble and reinstall the machine if you move it.</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="sub-tit">Check the following</h3>
<p>If the exterior case of the product is only larger than the entrance to the installation site by up to 5cm (large capacity models) or 15cm (small capacity models), it is possible to disassemble and reinstall the product.</p>
<div class="img-only">
<img alt="Image showing the gap between the exterior and door of the washing machine (Only those models up to 5-15cm bigger can be reassembled in such locations.)" src="https://gscs.lge.com:/gscs/support/fileupload/downloadFile.do?fileId=mtywJADOAenVdAnat3KgAg&amp;portalId=P1">
</div>
<p>
The job includes dissembling the upper plate and the lower parts, placing the inside tub in the new installation site, gently squeezing the external case and moving it into the site, and then reassembling the parts in the new installation location.<br>
Any greater compression of the external cases could cause dents in the case.
</p>

</div>
<p>
After you have moved the disassembled parts into the installation site, if the space proves too restrictive for reinstallation, installation may not be possible.<br>
Check if there is enough working room before beginning the work.<br>
If the product was at first disassembled and reinstalled, moving and disposal of the product requires a similar process.
