An anti-vibration stand for a washing machine is needed to reduce vibration during its operation. Before you decide that you need this stand, make sure that the machine is installed exactly, because the cause of a strong shaking is the wrong installation of household appliances.
But when even after the ideal installation of the legs of the machine, it vibrates strongly during operation, it is time to use special supports for the washing machine. They are durable in operation and rarely fail. But even if this happens, it will not be difficult to replace them.
Stands under the feet of a washing machine
These devices, in addition to reducing the oscillation of the machine, reduce noise and do not allow it to jump and slide, moving around the room. Stands for the machine can be of several types - rubber and silicone. Accordingly, they can be white (less often - black) colors or completely transparent. Place them directly under the 4 legs of the machine.
The diameter of each stand is usually 4-5 cm. Keep in mind that they may not be suitable for some models of equipment. Especially this applies to embedded devices, since with the stands their level rises and they no longer fit in the niche.
Another option to combat vibration is the anti-vibration mat. It is put under the whole machine, not under each foot separately. Its action is similar - it absorbs noise and vibration, does not allow the machine to "ride" during work.
A mat is usually more expensive than stands, because it is larger in size. Before using this or that device with a machine that is still under warranty, specify whether it is allowed to put anything under the machine. The fact is that some manufacturers refuse warranty service in such cases.
