Take the kickboard off and check for screws into the worktop and side units, and it will slide out.

Sounds like the floor is going to have to come up...

If it's laminate it'll never be the same again anyhow. Either that or brute force to yank the machine out, the floor may get scratched in the process.

Look in cupboards either side to see if the washing machine hoses feed through and you can turn them off, might be under the units behind the kickboard. If not turn the water off at the mains until you can get the machine out and isolated. The longer you leave it the more water damage you will have to deal with.

Take the kick board off and you may have to tilt it back so you can lift it over the wooden floor, their should not be any screws attaching it to other unites as there is know where to screw from

I know some of the built in dishwashers have a lip at the top to fix to worktops unsure about washing machines though, wouldn't have though its a good idea to screw a washing machine to a worktop though.
