How Not to Move Your Bosch Nexxt

The exterior paneling of these machines is exceptionally smooth; too smooth if you're trying to get access to the back of the unit. About the only thing to grab on to is the small lip where the plastic control panel where the detergent hopper thing is joins the rest of the body. DO NOT use this as a handle. This plastic piece is held in place by about 6 screws. Those screws are metal, and they thread into metal fittings. On our first machine I didn't know better and ended up breaking almost all of the tabs these screws attach to attempting to move the machine in search of the E:04 error (the solution is a couple posts down).

Instead, only move the machine while holding metal parts. Wear sturdy gloves, watch your back, and walk it out a little at a time.
