Stands for washing machine : anti-vibration , rubber and silicone , how to adjust the legs

Acquisition washing machine allows to solve several problems of global household: it not only takes off her shoulders housewife taking care of washing, rinsing and spinning the linen, but also leaves more time for other, more pleasant things.However, sometimes

stiralka itself becomes a cause of trouble.One of the most common (but, fortunately, is not the most dangerous) - is the emergence of strong vibrations during operation of the unit.It happens that in the process of spinning washing machine is not just noise and shaking, but also begins to "drive" the apartment.The effects it can have quite unpleasant - from the damaged flooring to disturbance of the household and neighbors.

learn how you can quickly fix the problem, read our article today.

The easiest way to help eliminate background noise and vibration - is the installation of special supports

.Antivibration supports are small caps that are placed on each of the support legs of the washing machine.They are usually made in the form of a circle or a square.Dimensions supports small, so they are virtually invisible;standard dimensions - 5.4 cm in diameter or diagonal.

footrest washing machines are a kind of "cushion", which absorbs vibration and noise, and prevents slippage due to the lower surface of the relief.

vibration during the washing and spinning rarely occur just like that, she has a reason, and most of all - it is the mistakes made during installation.

If all these requirements are met, but the vibrations still occur, then most likely, the fact is that when you install the washing machine forgot to remove the shipping bolts. This is a temporary fasteners that secure stiralki drum during transport, protecting it from damage.Removed they are very easy, more about this, you will learn by reading the article "Transport bolts on the washing machine."

Anti-vibration supports for feet washing machines are sold at a set of 4 pieces.Manufacturers produce brand stand for different models stiralok but to overpay for the brand is no need: most universal stands, you only need to choose the appropriate size.

between a stand different in several key parameters:

• size;
• color (usually black or white);
• shape (round, square or curly);
• material (this point will be discussed in the next section).

All antivibration stand designed for the weight of not less than 100 kg, so that the severity of the fine can withstand the washing machine.

materials for the production of anti-vibration supports under washing machines used two types of materials - rubber and silicone .Consider each of the species stands alone.

stand made of ordinary rubber - the most affordable option .They are very strong and durable.Rubber perfectly absorbs vibration and, moreover, produces anti-slip effect, not allowing the washing machine to "travel" in the bathroom.Rubber supports flexible, so easy to put on its feet, even if a little bit does not fit.

Anti-vibration supports, made of silicone rubber are more expensive than analog, but the price difference between the two is not significant. By their characteristics and silicone rubber footrest washing machine barely differ.Silicone has all the necessary qualities: it is quite soft, flexible and non-slip material.Silicone coasters can be more varied in form: for example, is very popular among buyers enjoy the stand in the form of funny animal feet.

Not all masters on home appliances repair approve the use of anti-vibration pads made of soft, flexible materials.Quite common is the view that the washing machine feet must rest on a solid surface, devoid of irregularities.To prevent the vibration and unwanted noise, manufacturers provide dampening spring.

This is indeed so, but some models of washing machines are working louder than others and produce more vibrations.

Another possible solution to the problem - it is a special anti-vibration mat under the washing machine.It operates on the same principle as the supports for the legs.It is a small silicone rubber or fabric (for stiralok different sizes easy to pick up mat suitable in size).It does not require installation, you just podstelit it under the unit.An additional advantage of this mat is that it reinforces a little tightness of the bottom of the washing machine.Cost of such accessory is a little more expensive than the stand legs.

Installing anti-vibration supports for the feet of the washing machine is produced in minutes. It is only necessary to conduct pre-deployment training, namely to adjust the legs so that stiralka taken strictly horizontal position.Then, already adjusted legs, put on the stand.Make it easy, because it supports elastic and well stretched.Installation is complete - it remains only to put the unit into place.

We have already talked about the fact that Mr. Lavna condition for the absence of noise and vibration when washing - it is well aligned legs washing machine.To adjust the height does not necessarily refer to the master repairman, this task can be easily cope on their own.

Adjustable legs produced by their rotation in one direction or another.If the foot to twist in the clockwise direction, it becomes longer, and when rotated in the opposite direction - shorter.Alternately adjusting each of the legs, we need to ensure that the washing machine has occupied a stable position and is not swayed.In order to quickly achieve the desired result, we recommend that you use the building level.
