After buying a long-awaited washing machine, many users start complaining about excessive noise and vibration during operation. For this reason, antivibration stands are used for the washing machine. How much it is justified and how to choose such gaskets correctly, read below.
Why there is vibration during washing
Before buying the gaskets under the legs, you need to make sure that the installation of the washer has been performed correctly. Unplug the machine and shake it by hand. If the body staggers, then not all the legs are evenly touching the surface.
To install the legs at one height, twist the nut in different directions.
For an accurate check, apply the level. Even with a slight inclination, the machine can make noise and shift during spinning.
Causes of severe vibration:
- After transportationdid not remove the transport bolts. Then you need to get them out. They are located on the rear panel and help to fix the internal parts of the AGR during transport.
- Uneven or wooden floor. The wooden floor sags with time, causing the machine to bounce while working. You need to align the floor or install a hard pedestal.
- With long-term operation possiblewear of bearings. Then the styralka not only vibrates, but also produces a "terrible" rumble and gnashing.
Vibrant machines vibrate most often. Their body is less stable, which leads to vibrations during spinning. In this case, the use of anti-vibration mounts is justified.
What are the stands and mats
When you are convinced that the machine "Electrolux LG, Indesit or any other is installed correctly, you can start to choose footboards from vibration or rubber mats.
If we consider the stands for a washing machine, they differ in color, shape and material of manufacture. Basically it is black or white props. The form is not particularly noteworthy - round or square, sometimes curly.
The legs against vibration for the machine are made:
- Made of rubber or polyurethane. It is durable and strong supports. Their diameter usually does not exceed 50 cm. The upper part of the rubber pads is embossed, so the stylus legs are stable on them. The bottom of the product has stiffeners, which allows better vibration suppression and prevents slipping.
- Of silicone. Silicone stands are transparent, soft and elastic. The material does not differ much from rubber in quality, but it costs more. Can be of different shapes. Even antivibration pads are produced.
For the same purpose, an anti-vibration mat is used. It can also be made of silicone or rubber, in the corners of the product there are cushioning corners for the legs.
Select a mat to the size of the base of the stylalk is easier than the legs for stylalki. However, because of the size of the substrate in the form of a rug is more expensive.
How to choose the right coasters
Having studied user feedback, you can distinguish the following advantages of the supports:
- The support material fits snugly against the SMA legs and the floor. Therefore, keep the machine from vibrations and jumps during spinning.
- Stability of the washing machine is the guarantee of preserving the floor covering. When the legs slide constantly, the floor is scratched.
Of the disadvantages, users have identified the relatively expensive cost of small stands.
