What Acer said. Those felt-bottomed sliders are made for exactly this problem and work great. Get yourself to the hardware store.

stay home!
Use a broom handle if you don't have a crowbar, lift the front edge enough to slide a piece of plastic (cut up a piece of Tupperware) under the front feet. Then just pull from the top back edge to slide the washer out a few inches.

I have the felt sliders, but lifting the pig is the difficulty.
Hope my hand truck is up to the task.

Does it really weigh 250 lbs. or is that a little hyperbole? I don’t recall older washing machines being that heavy unless perhaps it was a commercial one.

Pry up the front with pryer. Insert piece of half-inch pipe under each side. roll washer out on the rollers.
Make repair. roll back into position. Remove rollers.

Does the front lower panel come off so you can see the leveling feet?
You might be able to raise and lower them to slip sliders under one front corner at a time.
Or with the front lower panel off, you might be able to see where you can place your pry bay.

@Dik2 - no, the interior mount panel is cut is such a way so that the levelers are not accessible.
