Pro's will ask you about that and have new bolts delivered to your house beforehand. At least that's what ours did.

theyre the ones who asked otherwise i wouldnt have known. they ended up using the 2 bolts i had in a diagonal fashion and packing the drum near the door with bubble wrap to cinch it down a bit more. no issues.

Was watching this thread.... thats good news ....I had same concern when moving a Miele front loader .... as it turned out had no problems without taking any special measures. Also have a Duet but I kept the bolts in case we move. Probably won't find them when/if the time comes.
