It happens that the washing machine starts jumping during the washing process. There are several reasons for this. The service life of the equipment, location, proper use in accordance with the instructions also affect. The problem should not be delayed, as it can lead to unpleasant consequences: from unpleasant noise that disturbs only you to flooding of neighbors.
How to properly install the car so that it does not jump
If such a problem is found, it is necessary to immediately determine its cause. If you can’t fix the breakdown yourself, call a specialist. The washing machine must be placed on a flat floor so that there is no slipping.Here's what you can do yourself when you find your washing machine shaking:
- to level the surface, I recommend laying a special non-slip mat or chipboard, fiberboard sheets;
- in the case of a wooden floor, a typewriter underlay is required;
- adjusting the height of the legs of the machine using the building level;
- put pads under the legs to eliminate vibrations.
Why is the washing machine jumping
Often, newly acquired washing equipment vibrates at high speeds. There are a number of reasons for this:
- transport bolts not removed;
- uneven floor in the bathroom;
- smooth and slippery floor surface in the bathroom;
All these reasons are easy to fix on your own. It has already been described above how to do this. Another situation is when the equipment works fine for several years and suddenly suddenly starts to vibrate. An unbalanced load of laundry is possible here.
Drum imbalance problem
Drum imbalance can often cause the machine to vibrate during operation and move around the bathroom. This happens when:
- in the “Spin” mode, things were lumped together, for example, small-sized things got into the duvet cover;
- the load weight limit has been exceeded (more than 2/3 of the allowed volume);
There are special models of washing machines that provide for such an excess. When the maximum allowable load weight is exceeded, a violation message appears on the display in the form of the inscription: UE or UB.
Defective shock absorbers
The failure of the shock absorbers is checked by disconnecting one of its ends. Check manually. A shock absorber operating at a “light” stroke leads to increased vibration during the spin cycle.Shock absorbers are fixed with special bolts or plastic bushings with latches. One end is fixed on the tank, the other - at the bottom of the machine. To dismantle, simply unscrew the nuts, pull out the bolts or bushings. Next, install new shock absorbers, repeating the procedure in reverse order.
Mounting counterweights
Counterweights are made of concrete and plastic. They are bolted to the tank of the washing machine. Most often, concrete counterweights fail. They may crumble or crack. The shaking of the washing machine during operation can be easily eliminated when the cause is identified.
