Your absolutely right in wondering how service can be done on your situation. If the washer has issues of not pumping out etc, the bottom panel is very easy to remove to access the pump, so that is a simple step, and doesn't require the dryer removel or moving out the washer. Gaining access to the hoses and discharge hose could be interesting, but with help things can be moved or opened up to acess. Brent@CanBC
