Yes. I did.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's generally not recommended to transport a clothes dryer on its side, including models like the Insignia™ 6.7 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer, as this can potentially damage internal components and lead to malfunctions. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Manufacturer's Recommendations: Always refer to the user manual or manufacturer's guidelines for transportation instructions. Many manufacturers advise keeping the dryer upright during transport. 2. Internal Components: Compressors and other internal parts are often designed to be in a specific orientation. Laying the dryer on its side can cause these components to shift or get damaged. 3. Risk of Leaks: If the dryer has any residual water from a previous use (particularly if it's a ventless model), this can leak out when the dryer is on its side. 4. Securing the Load: If you must transport the dryer horizontally, ensure it is securely fastened to prevent movement during transit, minimizing the risk of further damage. 5. Professional Help: If you're unsure, consider hiring professionals who have experience handling large appliances for transportation. If you have no other option than to lay it on its side, be sure to allow it to sit upright for a few hours after transport before plugging it in to let any fluids settle back into position. However, the best practice is still to transport it upright if possible.
