Causes of jumps and vibration of the washing machine during spinning

Washing machines belong to the world of inanimate objects, but for some of them no magic is needed for the equipment to come to life and start “jumping” around the bathroom. Most often this happens under certain modes. Why does the washing machine jump and shift when spinning? It turns out that there is a completely logical explanation for such somersaults.

Car jumps

Consider the main reasons why a washing machine jumps while spinning.

1. Not removed shipping boltswhich fix the device during transportation. Immediately before installation, you need to check their presence or absence - for more information, refer to the manual of the device.
   
2. If there are no bolts, and for some reason, the washing machine during spinning is jumping, it may have been incorrectly installed. The main condition is a flat floor.If the technique can be easily shaken from side to side with your hands, then the requirement is not met. Any imbalance can lead to the fact that when you wash appear the above problems, so when you install the device should be sure to use the level.
3. And if the floor, on the contrary, is perfect, but slippery? Will help special rubberized mat or double-sided tape stuck on the legs of the device. There are also special anti-vibration stand.
4. Imbalance loaded laundry. It is enough to overload the drum with laundry (or simply distribute things unevenly) so that the machine starts shaking when the machine is pressed. What to do? Stop the process and "shake" things, perhaps divide them into two parts.

It should be remembered that the drum loading is more than two thirds of its volume - already exceeding the norm.

However, such measures are not a panacea, and may not help. This means that faults disappear deeper: you have to look inside the device.

Machine vibrates

What to do if during spinning a strong vibration of a washing machine occurs? Most often provokes such behavior imbalance of the apparatus. The culprits are such damaged parts:

• shock absorbers;
• springs;
• counterweight;
• bearings.

Shock absorbers

Natural wear of the dampers has occurred (shock absorbers). "Aging" of such parts helps overload devices. Another sign indicating this circumstance is that during the spin cycle the device shakes and creates a characteristic knock of parts that are beating on the case.

Attention! You only need to change them in pairs, even if only one failed. It is necessary for uniform loading.

The failure of the shock absorbers can be checked independently: to do this, simply open the door of the device and push the drum. If it is in place, it means that there are no problems with this node.

To eliminate the damage, remove the back cover of the machine and pull out the damper. Sometimes during the inspection it becomes obvious that only the plastic rim is damaged - in this case, obsolete ones are removed. liningand change to new ones.

Springs

The failure of the springs can also be the reason why the washing machine behaves so strangely. Their wear is a quite predictable final of the work. These tank-holding parts should also be changed. in pairs: in this case, they are guaranteed to continue their coordinated work on capturing vibrations.

Counterweight

In order to prevent the technique from vibrating strongly, the designers put a counterweight in the machine. It is a heavy concrete (or plastic) unit, responsible for device stability. The device will shift if it has problems with the counterweight: for example, loose fixings or destruction of the part itself can be attributed here. The first indicates the crumbling of the element, while the second is a characteristic knock when the machine begins to shake.

Bearing

Another element that prohibits the technician to move freely along the chosen path is the bearing. But this is if it is working. All because of, again, natural factors - the part is destroyed due to moisture ingress. The destruction occurs gradually: at first, the machine “informs” about it with an iron gnash, then the drum simply begins to walk freely to the side, and the device itself jumps during the spin cycle.

When the machine jumps because of the bearing, the problem is more than serious: its debris over time, they can disable the entire system and spoil the machine. Independently replace such an element is very difficult - it is better to let the experts do it. But if you decide on this operation, first find out how to properly disassemble the machine and execute bearing replacement.

Weak spots

It turns out that there are certain models of washing machines that are at risk of being at risk. We are talking about narrow types of washing machines. The fact is that in such a case there is not very much space for support, which means that such a device is poorly resistant. The second “Achilles heel” device is narrow drumin which laundry is worse distributed, which leads to an imbalance.

And a little more interesting information: it turns out that more problems will be delivered metal tanks in typewriters. Their plastic packs are much quieter at work. Well, the solution of this problem is occupied by manufacturers, who find a way to separate the drum itself from the main body: this reduces the noise level and eliminates unnecessary vibration.

Cars direct drive are considered quieter than their regular counterparts.

So, there are many reasons for the technique to start jumping. It is important to find the main culprit and eliminate it, otherwise it could result in serious financial losses in the form of a broken car or a flooded neighboring apartment.
