yes but i might take them off if i can anymore tips :hurray:

I wouldn't go that far as the washing machine will move without feet a might scratch the floor

Is the floor deflection free?

I had this problem once with a washing machine at the end of the unit, after discussing all options including raising the worktops which would have been a bigger job than the floor itself. We came up with a solution by making the work top over the washing machine removable and i routed out half of the worktop on the underside. It wasnt the prettiest way but they were delighted.

That's the only suggestion I could ever come up with but it's a bit of a maul. Its worth it though if it's the only option.

you could cut round the machine,this is not a good practice but i have done it once in the past as there was no other option,,neatly cut with the feet raised as high as they can go on the machine and you lose the cut under the machine ,always keep spare tiles for future incase the machine breaks down and needs replaced
