Abstract: Washing machine shipping systems that inhibit movement of one or more moveable component with respect to one or more stationary component of a washing machine during shipping and handling of the washing machine. The shipping systems engage a moveable component, such as a motor or a basket, to substantially prevent side-to-side and/or vertical movement of the moveable component with respect to a stationary component, such as a cabinet or frame, during shipment. In an exemplary embodiment, the shipping system is removed from the washing machine for installation of the washing machine at the consumer's residence. In some exemplary embodiments, the washing machine system engages an outer surface of an external rotor of a motor to substantially prevent side-to-side and/or vertical movement of the motor with respect to the washing machine cabinet.
