If your new appliance still has the transit bolts installed. Its vital that you remove the bolts before you use the it. Using a washing machine with the bolts still installed can permanently damage your machine and may even invalidate your warranty.

    I’m a full hour trying to remove ONE transport bolt, well done to whoever designed them. It’s a pity I didn’t know this yesterday, I certainly wouldn’t have bought the washing machine.

    The handy bit of plastic in the way makes it impossible to undo the bolt with a spanner. Great design work guys!

    Once the bolt came out I was left with the plastic plugs still intact. In the video he removes these with the gentlest touch. Mine took 2 pairs of pliers and some elbow grease!! I was wondering if they had some sort of screw in thread to them holding them in place but they don't. They just need a good pull!

    I installed my washer this morning..had to use both hands to remove the transit bolts, as they were very tight! But the rest was easy!

    Took the cover off the back in the end. Took 2 mins. Much easier to get at them from inside

    The transit pins seem harder to remove on indesit machines, having bought other models in the past, I’ve had no problems with other models... until I bought an indesit machine. Like the rest on here, the third pin tends to fall in. In my opinion indesit need to look at how they are designing their transit pins, look at the other companies. Try to make them more as a whole piece rather than some plastic pushed into a rubber washer, that way they will not detach and fall into the machine!

    Mmmmm not quite the reality here! I didn't expect to pay £30 to remove some ridiculously tough transit bolts. I've built numerous furniture over the years and NEVER had this sort of trouble
