I am trying to transport a washer and dryer and in order to use my SUV I would need to tilt both on their side. I was wondering if that would damage either appliance

I really wouldn't advise it. Call up a friend to see if you can borrow their truck.:)

I just moved and thought mine would be fine too. But they weren't. I had mine in a huge moving truck. My washer was fine but my dryer didn't make it. I had a guy look at it and he said tilting it to get it on and off the truck made something go bad inside it. So the next time I used it, It burned my clothes. Now I have to get a new dryer. :(
Live and learn I guess.

I would recommend renting a bigger truck for this. The price of a rental truck is way cheaper than repairing or replacing the washer and dryer.

The washer will suffer. But the dryer will be fine.

well first you get a truck or a trailer to put them on. then you would tie them down with a strap or a tie down. if you transport them on a truck try to put them behind the cab so you get less wind to it. if you put them on a trailer put them directly over the wheels so they pull easyer. if you have to use the suv it shouldnt hurt the washer or dryer.

if there is someone you know who has a small van bung him a tenner to tie it upright in the van so that the internal of machine dont get damaged make sure its tied to both sides of the van so it dont move about

Just hire a competent mover to do the job or rent a U-haul truck or trailer and do it right.

No, they should be ok. They aren't like a refrigerator they don't have anything in them that need to be upright.

no you'll be o.k. just don't tilt a fridge because of the freon in it.
