Removing locking nuts from feet (Bosch washing machine)

[ElCI]

Hi all

I've moved into a new house recently, for some reason the worktops are lower than average. I need to slot it into a recess with height of around 840mm. I've found a Bosch washing machine that's only slightly more than this. I've checked it in store and there's locking nuts on the machine feet. Anybody know if it's possible to remove the feet completely, take off the locking nut and then put the feet back in? ( Basically so I can reduce the height of the machine by the 8mm or so that is the height of the locking nut)

Any help or other options is much appreciated

Cheers

Investigate a way of removing the existing lid and fitting a lower flat plate to your existing machine (if you have one) or A.N.Other make including the Bosch you have an eye on?

Hi EICI i have exactly the same issue, did you find a compatible but lower profile foot? If anyone else has a solution that doesnt involve changing the lid or buying a different machine id appreciate advice thanks, i will start a new thread as im after thread spacing info so that i can see if another model or make uses compatible feet.
