This is something I want to make happen at my place at some point. Install casters on all washer, dryer, stove, and fridge.
My dishwasher , which I never use, is wedged down underneath a counter so no clearance there.
Think how much easier it would be to maintain cleanliness around them if you could slide 'em right out!

I think unless you install some heavy duty locking casters, you may find your washing machine across the room straining on the hoses.
All fridges have one-direction rollers now. I do have my old Wolf range on casters in place of the back legs. When I want to move the 400 pound beast I put a 1/4" sheet of plywood in front and use a HF light weight floor jack to slightly raise the front and I can drive it around like a pallet jack.
IT IS a good idea to be able to move appliances. My clothes washer is so heavy that when it gets crooked by an out-of-balance load, I can hardly get it back in shape.
I may take your idea and install some locking casters on the one that is soon to take the old one's place. Really fantastic idea. Much easier to sweep under it as well!
