How to make a washing machine not go on tiles

How to make a washing machine not go on tilesThe constant "movement" of the washing machine, rocking and "bouncing" is unlikely to please the user of the equipment. Most front-end models “run” on the floor, thus overcoming significant distances and trying to tear out the power cord from the outlet, ram the objects standing nearby. We will talk about how to fix the washing machine to the tiles below.

Why does not stand still?

There is a logical explanation for the fact that the machine jumps during the spin cycle: a centrifugal force arises in the tank of the machine, which acts on the side walls of the unit body. To reduce its pressure, a counterweight is installed inside the washing machine by the manufacturer - an element designed to ensure stability of the technique. But in some models, especially narrow sizes, the counterweights are not heavy enough, therefore, they cannot reliably fix the washing machine at a spin speed of more than 1000 rpm.

Yes, modern small-sized cars, on the one hand, are produced very compact and lighter, on the other hand, they will certainly slide at high speeds, and if the hostess sets the “Spin” mode with the drum rotating more than 1600 times per minute, then they can do it and “fly up”.

The next factor that could lead to this problem is the improper installation of washing equipment. Perhaps it was not delivered at the level, or the flooring under the washer turned out to be unreliable.

Having ascertained the root causes of the constant “drive” of the washing machine on the floor, you need to figure out what to do to solve this problem. Mistresses who do not want to bother much simply put a weight on the top cover of the machine, for example, a bowl of water, a bag of powder or a high stack of books.

Temporarily “pacifying” the unit can also be done in this way, however, it is not recommended to constantly put the load on the cover of the washer so that it does not ride on the tile. The problem that has arisen is better solved by other methods, more serious and reliable. Let's try to present to your attention the most effective of them.

Goodfoot coasters

Good footThe first way is to install special anti-vibration stands under the bottom of the washing machine. If you put such devices under the legs, you can forget about sliding and jumping the unit. Stands designed to prevent vibration of the machine look stylish, so they will not spoil the appearance of the interior.

Such footboards are made of very durable polymer. The material of the products does not heat up, does not deform, it is not afraid of moisture. Manufacturers claim that the relief on the surface of the stand does not allow the machine to arbitrarily move along the floor, and the provided stiffeners absorb vibration shocks well, while effectively distributing the load.

Installing anti-vibration stands is easy enough; you don’t even need to disconnect the washing machine from communications.

To set up special stands, it is necessary to raise the machine on the right side and carefully place polymer products under the legs of the equipment. The same actions are carried out with the left side of the unit.

Anti-slip mat

An anti-slip floor mat is another option that will prevent the typewriter from “running” and “jumping” over the surface of the floor. An anti-vibration product can kill two birds with one stone at the same time: to prevent slipping of equipment and to reduce the vibration of the machine during the washing process.

The canvas anti-slip carpet has two layers:

  • the top, which is characterized by anti-slip action, has increased resistance to various kinds of mechanical damage;
  • lower, responsible for ventilation and absorption of body vibrations.

anti-vibration matThe bubble material of the carpet contributes to good cushioning.Rubber, which is one of the main components of the product, allows the web to not deform, withstand heavy loads, and be resistant to temperature changes (can be used at temperatures from -40 to +120 ° C).

It is very important to choose the right anti-slip mat. Let's make a brief overview of the highest quality anti-vibration paintings:

  • Proflex brand double-layer carpet - distinguished by high quality, environmental friendliness. The product is odorless, has excellent antistatic characteristics;
  • Mattix-Vibromats withstands large temperature differences, differs from analogues in increased wear resistance. The carpet is able to take increased loads, it is completely safe for the health of family members;
  • the budget Lux cloth is characterized by excellent anti-slip properties, however, some users note a weak anti-vibration effect of the product;
  • Shahintex universal cloth is ideal for small-sized and large washing equipment. The product is easy to clean, perfectly absorbs noise, prevents the machine from slipping.
