Front-loading washing machines are susceptible to damage when being moved because there's a huge lump of iron (on concrete) that's linked to the drum-suspension in order to damp down vibration when spinning.
If those transit bolts aren't used to secure the drum and the washing machine is jostled about while moving, the suspension can be damaged.
But since I don't see you saying anywhere what exactly is wrong with the machine, that might be totally irrelevant.
My experience is that what usually fails in washing machines are the electronic control boards or the rubber seal around the door. Both can be a pain to replace, but it ain't rocket science.
My 7-year-old Samsung washer just shit itself.
