In a recent post, I mentioned that shaking and vibration in a front load washer can be caused by influences that are not altogether considered defects of the washer. The tub on a new front load washer, depending on the brand, can spin at between 800 – 1200 RPM. That’s pretty fast.
Considering the suspension system must be able to absorb the energy of a load that is usually not perfectly balanced, that high RPM makes it VERY important that the washer is solid on the floor … all four legs, not just three 
. And the floor itself MUST be solid enough that it won’t absorb vibration that the suspension system is designed to dissipate.
For fun, i thought that the following video might illustrate what can happen when an off balance load is taken to the extreme. (Probably, this is for the guys.) Enjoy.
