Anti-vibration stand for the legs of the washing machine

To avoid damage to the equipment and, in fact, the surface on which it stands, it is necessary to buy anti-vibration supports for the washing machine. This is often due to fluctuations in the course of its work, which occur most often during the spinning process, but sometimes also in the course of washing.

How do they look

Washing machine stands are often made.polyurethane, but some manufacturers prefer to make them rubber. As for their shape, they are mostly round or oval, but they can also be square. The approximate diameter of each such stand is about 50 cm.

The stand for the washing machine is made in different colors, but most often it matches the color of the equipment or it is black and white.Recently, transparent coasters have become increasingly popular, although it is worth noting that their color does not play any technical or functional role.

Almost 90% of all washing machines with proper and professional installation do not create any trouble and complications. But there are also frequent cases when users themselves make a lot of mistakes in the course of operation, which causes problems with vibration and unpleasant noise. Special anti-vibration supports will help to correct the situation.

There are cases when the designers and engineers themselves make a number of mistakes that later create problems. This is due to their desire to keep up with the beautiful appearance and small size of the equipment, because of which the question of its stability is shifted into the background. Most often such units are equipped special counterweightsbut in practice the washing machine vibrates heavily even with them. Such models more than others need additional supports.

For their effective use, you must first choose or create the most stable place for washing,after which special supporting parts are installed, due to which the process of reducing vibration and, accordingly, the level of spinning noise or wash.

How necessary are they?

Strong vibration of the washing machine can bring a lot of trouble, but for some reason, many professional craftsmen do not recommend installing linings. In fact, any washing machine has its own mechanism, which provides the maximum level of stability, and thanks to various spring shock absorbers, any movement of the internal parts is negated - in terms of energy transfer to the legs.

Indeed, often these elements work as they should, but after a certain time their properties weaken, which may require a stand for a washing machine.

The main causes of vibration

1. The washing machine may vibrate due to uneven location of the legs on the surface.
2. Uneven floor.
3. Wooden floor.
4. Wear system.
5. Other violations.

Due to the fact that the most frequent cause of vibration is exactly the wrong installation of a typewriter, you need to know how to do it yourself. The surface to be determined under the washing machine must be firm and level. In the event that the floor in the place where the device is supposed to be placed is wooden, it is recommended to pour a separate part under it with concrete.

How to align

As soon as the wash starts, you need to see if the machine is staggering on a flat surface. If yes, then it is necessary adjust her legs. They are located on the bottom of the unit, and almost all models imply the possibility of adjustment. Twisting the leg up or down, you will be able to adjust the height of a particular side.

To determine which side needs to be adjusted, it is necessary to sway the machine in the off state. In order to remove the unevenness of the surface and pinpoint the edge, use the level.

Installing coasters

In order to eliminate the vibration successfully, you must first perform a series of preparatory work in terms of adjusting the height of the legs, which were mentioned earlier, and preparing the place for the unit.

The place should be as stable as possible. Before installing the stand is best to make a concrete screed under the washing machine.

Next, the unit must be adjusted in height and connected.It implies not only the connection to the electrical network, but also to the water supply / drain system. Immediately you need to pay attention to the absence of kinks in the hoses, since after installing anti-vibration supports it will not be so easy to move the washer. After all the manipulations have been successfully completed, proceed to laying the elements under each leg. Stands are suitable for any washing machine, due to the fact that they are a little more than their legs, which does not allow them to shake.

Some cars may be noisy on their own. Most often this is observed in modern narrow models. And coasters are unlikely to help.

Before eliminating the vibration of your washing machine, you need to carefully consider the possible causes of this phenomenon:

1. Bearing failure.
2. Caps off the legs.
3. Foreign object between the drum and the tank.
4. Other breakdowns that only a specialist can reveal.

We hope that now you can easily cope with the problem of vibration of washing equipment without the help of a wizard.
