Having a new floor in the kitchen and my faithfull

Buy a machine that will is the first thought , otherwise get the kitchen fitter to raise the worktops above the washer

You could try taking off the top lid and removing the feet underneath which will give you some room

Make sure that you place a sheet of plastic over the top of the machine from side to side and tape it in place if you do remove the top

That is in case you spill anything on the worktop which then drips inside the machine
