[LG top load washing machine - installation] Can I disassemble and reinstall the product in another place because the current installation site is too small?

  • Troubleshooting

Drum washers are not designed for frequent disassembly and reinstallation.
Top load washing machines of which the capacity exceeds 17kg might should be considered in a similar manner.
It’s not possible to install the machine in a space so narrow that the internal round tub can’t enter.
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.

Causes and Symptoms

  • There is a space for installing the machine on my veranda, but I can’t enter it because of the small entrance.
  • The entrance to the bathroom is too small for the washing machine.
  • 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.

Try this

Check the following

If the product case is 20cm or larger than the entrance to the installation site, disassembly and installation may not be possible.

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.
Any greater compression of the external cases could cause dents in the case.

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