With the invention of the washing machine, people had more free time. Only sometimes this device becomes a real problem when it creates unnecessary vibrations. And then all the free time is spent on solving this situation.
When the washing machine "jumps" during operation, something does not necessarily break in it and there is no need to urgently call the service center. This usually happens at increased speeds in the "Spin" mode and is associated with certain reasons.
How to get rid of "jumping"
The centrifugal force that occurs when the washing machine is running at high speeds causes the device to experience severe stress. The result is strong vibrations that can even damage the device over time. However, there are ways to avoid this.
As practice shows, nine out of ten causes of "jumping" of the washing machine can be eliminated without a service center.
Incorrect installation. If the machine itself is installed incorrectly, centrifugal force literally "throws" the machine from side to side. Strong vibrations and vibrations occur, which can be eliminated by using a level and by changing the height of the machine's legs, adjust it vertically and horizontally. Usually the device has a nut and a lock nut that can be adjusted. To find out which leg to twist, place a saucer of water on the device and look at the slope of the liquid.
In some cases, the "bouncing" is too strong and no matter how you align, nothing happens. In this case, you can reduce the vibrations by using a rubber mat or circles cut out of this material separately. The main thing is that your washing machine does not stand on bare tiles or concrete. This will significantly dampen the fluctuations.
It also happens that the machine "jumps" because the drum of the device is not fully loaded. Taking into account all the same centrifugal force, the torque at an incomplete load makes the apparatus bounce. Tighter packing will eliminate this phenomenon to a large extent or simply negate it.
Suspension malfunction. Such a reason can also be when all the previous methods have already been taken into account, and the hesitation has not been eliminated. It so happens that over time, shock absorbers wear out, something happens to the counterweight, or a defect occurs in the drum itself during operation. This is manifested in such a way that yesterday the car did not jump, but today it does. In this case, it's time to call the service center.
Modern washing machines
Modern washing machine models usually have less vibration when installed correctly. If this effect occurs, use the tips above or go to the service center.
Old washing machines that have served faithfully for years can still work with proper handling.
If your washing machine has already lived its way and has more than a dozen years, it is not necessary to change it. If you make a small adjustment to the position of the device on the floor, you can use it further.
