Appointment of Anti-vibration supports

Installing anti-vibration supports - the surest way to save yourself from loud noise and damage to the flooring. It's a small detail, which is able to correct the problem with household appliances. Washing machine, bought recently equipped with new accessories and additional protection.

Anti-vibration supports for the washing machine - products, prolonging the period of use.

Bearing, damper, shock absorbers - details that prevent severe vibration in modern technology. The machine, which visited a long time in active service, begins to lose its original characteristics. Parts wear, vibration occurs and no special supports under the washing machine can not do.

These useful devices prevent occurrence of noise, premature wear stiralok.

The main functions of anti-vibration supports.

  • Limits noise and vibration.
  • It provides stability.
  • Prevents scratches on the floor.
  • Eliminates uneven floor problem.

It's inexpensive affordable way to reduce the vibration and rumbling in the wash.

How do they look

Anti-vibration pad under the washing machine a circular or square shape from polymer material with a height of 45 to 50 cm. A set of supports is comprised of four pieces, predominantly white, gray, black or transparent color. Transparent liner made of silicone. The upper side of the lining resembles a cap on it we put the leg machines.

The side that is on the floor, has a relief surface.

These devices are made of materials with high damping properties.

From which vibrations occur?

If you installed the machine master, complaints and complaints about her work should not be. Errors in setting most likely to occur if it were engaged users. Causes of problems - many consider the main ones.

Such pads are inexpensive and commonly used.

  1. Overload. All units have the instructions for use, which contains the maximum possible occupancy. If the machine is designed for 5-6 kg., And loaded it was 8, it noisy washing guaranteed.
  2. Extraneous thing between the tub and the drum machine.
  3. Uneven loading. Distribute the laundry uniformly around the drum, otherwise the centrifugal force will pump device in different directions.
  4. Level. If the floor in the room a little at an angle, and the device is properly installed, without the level of compliance.
  5. Wooden floor. The problem is that the individual elements of this type coatings have shifted property. The surface becomes unstable.
  6. Breakage or wear of parts of the system. Bearing failure will result in a decrease in the mobility of the drum, and the corruption of balances will lead to displacement and vibration machines.
  7. The transit bolts. If the aggregate purchase was made not so long ago, make sure the screws that hold the parts during transport were removed.

Analyzing feedback from users, it should be noted that the pads dampen vibration, but do not remove the noise.

Manufacturers make coasters in the form of conventional washers and a fancy, for example, in the form of tabs.

Note! Before you upload another batch of washing, make sure that the machine is not unsteady. Improper installation will necessarily entail damage and the appearance of micro-cracks on the details.

Types and criteria for selection of anti-vibration supports

Choosing stand under automatic washing machine, to be based on its settings. The main criteria to be considered.

It attracts buyers low price and a wide selection.

Install devices can be individually, lifting each edge. It is available to any buyer.

  • The size and shape. The substrate must fit snugly to the machine, so it is important to make measurements of the diameter of the legs. Pay attention to the shape: a circle or square, pick up an appropriate stand. You can find some interesting options in the form of traces of animals. The whole point is in the taste.
  • Color. It does not affect the quality and characteristics of the product. This parameter depends on the color of home appliances and design facilities.
  • Diameter. This parameter affects the stability. The higher it is, the better the support to cope with the task.
  • Material. And silicone and rubber lining cope well with its task. The only difference - the price, appearance and durability. Silicone will cost a bit more expensive than rubber. There is a risk that over time the rubber product razlezetsya, silicone is considered more durable material.

Do not choose the cheapest product, they may be made of poor quality material and have an unpleasant odor.

You can save money by making their own stand.

anti-vibration mat

If the machine is new, and the floor in the room is relatively even, for the elimination of noise is sufficiently anti-vibration pad. Materials for the manufacture of products using durable and wear-resistant. It will last more than one year. Its very easy to install: podstelit under the unit. This is not a budget option and will cost more than the feet set.

Ease of installation and durability - its strengths.

How to install?

  1. Disconnect all hoses from the water and place the equipment on its side.
  2. Clean feet, they should be free from rust and other irregularities.
  3. Adjust the feet so that the washing machine stands level, not staggered. To carry out this operation, the level of need and a wrench. Rotating the leg in the clockwise direction, it increases in the upward direction, and when rotated in the opposite direction, then decreases down.
  4. Put the stand on the feet of the washing machine. Modern rubber products adhere well to any surface coating.
  5. Test the machine.

If the unit continues to swing, repeat the installation from the beginning again.

Stand for washing machines with their own hands

Another option - is to make your own hands antivibration stands for a washing machine.

If a product made with their own hands have not reduced the shaking, it is better to buy ready-made, without spending extra time and effort.

If you click on the corners of the device does not fluctuate, the vibration disappears during the spin cycle.

rubber

If the farm has pieces of rubber, can be independently cut from their backing. You need to know the exact parameters of the legs and under their cut elements required shape.

The resulting cut portions arranged under the machine.

of the eraser

Take four erasers and glue each other superglue. Use a sharp object, make an indentation in the center.

Desired diameter and shape can be corrected by making permanent fitting during operation.

Stand in the form of a skeleton

You can build a stand that will be slightly raise the car above floor level. The height of such a stand will be 45-50 cm. Front - sliding, it will be possible to add detergents or sponges. Fasteners for the legs are made in such a way that they are securely fixed to the machine base.

Proper installation and smooth surface will eliminate additional noise and vibration.

Make sure that the hand is the necessary materials and tools.

  • Glue for assembly.
  • Drill.
  • Self-tapping screws.
  • Plywood.
  • The boards of wood 10 to 10 cm.
  • A circular saw.

Before the production, it is necessary to know the size of the bottom of the machine feet.

workflow

  1. Measure the length and width of the washing machine and the legs, add to obtain the number of 5 cm. - it will be the parameters of the stand.
  2. Saw bars and plywood in accordance with the received parameters, sand the wood workpiece.
  3. Collect pieces of wood using screws. Attach all four walls of the veneer sheets by adhesive, further securing screws.

Which can be installed under the support gradually raising each corner and placing the device in stages.

Important! Before installing the machine frame bed under the rubber mat, it will serve as additional protection from vibration.

Installing the pads does not take much time.

Elimination of mobility equipment will prolong its working life, it will not be as intense wear. After fixing the special support under the washing machine with vibration issue will no longer be disturbed.

They not only relieve you from noise and vibration, but also to protect the floor from scratches and deformation.
