For those of you with front load washers

**jenloveschip2001** · 01-06-2011, 01:26 PM

Do you have trouble with your washer viberating really bad? We have had our LG front load washer for three years now and it has always viberated really bad but we just bought the pedastels to go under it and it seems to be worse. My husband has tried everything, he waits t'll it goes into the spin cycle full of clothes and then adjusts the legs to try to make sure it is leveled and nothing helps. It viberates so bad that he thinks it is making the house settle because we have cracks around the some of the door faceings. If you set a level on top of the washer it shows it as level. Could it be a mechanical problem instead of a level problem like maybe a callibration problem? Anyone else ever had a problem like this or Advice? Thanks

Do you have extended warranty on them? I'd be calling the 800 # to ask about this or google to see how others in similar situations managed to resolve this. DF has LG HE washer/dryer and I guess this could be our prob soon - they're coming up to a year's warranty within the next few months.

I found this msg board where several have discussed how they fixed this issue - the 'stall mat' seems to be the best one but I'm not quite sure exactly what that is.

Hope this helps and you get it taken care of soon:

Do you have a slab or sub-floor?

Mine vibrates and sounds like a jet. lol I've learned to shut the laundry door and after years I don't even notice the sounds.

I have a HE Front loader and it makes almost no sounds at all. I do have a concrete floor though.

We have I guess sub floors, there not concrete. I am going to go check out that website and see what I can find out. We didn't buy the extended warranty and it has been over a year. I may call home Depot where we bought it and see if they can help me. Thank you all for you help.

I went to the website and found great info. Thanks Libby! I think I am either going to get a rubber mat or a sheet of plywood to go under it and see how that does.
