Raise a washing machine off the floor

There may occasionally be situations where a washing machine would benefit from being raised off the floor. One such example would be if a washing machine was installed in a basement and was struggling to pump the water up to ground level. I have seen cases where raising the washing machine a foot or so would have made the difference. However, I would expect this accessory to only make a difference in cases where the pump almost drains the water out in time but times out or stalls for the lack of a small amount of extra time. There’s no guarantee this pedestal would fix this problem but it might do.

Other examples where raising a washing machine off the ground would be desirable is if the washing machine was installed in an area prone to damp or ingress of water, or simply to raise the washing machine to a height that makes it much more comfortable to operate, and to load and unload.

There is such a product in the 4Washerhelp spares database – Pedestal to raise washing machine though unfortunately it seems pretty expensive!

The height of the pedestal is 30.5 CM which is just under 14 inches and is “applicable to all brands” although I’d definitely measure up first.
