OK, so we are getting rid of the onboard Splendide washer/dryer combo. It is in a cupboard about 2ft off the ground, we took out the drawers underneath it to close off the water pipes etc, then we tried to remove the unit. It seems like the unit is wedged in there pretty tight, there is no room around it to move the unit in any direction and the top of the cupboard has a lip that just touches the top of the unit.
Has anyone removed a washer/dryer? Just wondering if we need to take the cupboard apart to remove it, or if there is some 'secret' to doing it?

take the bottom panel off the washer and remove the anchor bolts that hold the unit in the cabinet that should make it easy to slide out.....the washer is secured to the floor and sometimes at the top back wall so it doesnt jump out and come flying while driving

Thank you Mike Makes sense, we took the cupboard doors off last night, we knew there had to be something anchoring it in, just couldn't find what it was. Will get Jay to remove that bottom panel
