“I would have to install this unit on a wall where it would block the whole house water cutoff. Can the pedestal be fitted with skids or a dolly roller so it can be easily pushed out of the way in an emergency where the water needs to be cut off?”

No! I would not recommend that at all. When the machine is working up to full spin speed there is a lot of vibration so I could definitely see this as a huge problem of moving or “walking”. I would highly recommend changing the location of the machine or your main supply valve. Or you could get fancy and get a electronic valve that you could operate with a switch but even at that probably not an ideal option as in emergency situations best to have a mechanical valve with less probability of failure.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi there - Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us! No washer or dryer should ever be installed on wheels or a rolling platform. This unit should be installed on a hard floor, with all 4 leveling legs firmly on the ground to make sure the Combo does not vibrate or move. Note: If floor is in poor condition, use 3/4" impregnated plywood sheet solidly attached to existing floor. We hope this is helpful. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Best wishes. -Don@GEA
