Spin Mats

Providing the clothes are placed evenly round the drum and pressed down, a spin mat is not necessary, its only to stop small items, sock, hankies from flying out of the spin can if they are at the top...

Correct loading should be items placed evenly around the can (dip in the middle for rinsing) and a larger item say towel or shirt placed over the items and tucked into the sides...

If the spinner is vibrating excessively with an even load then you possibly have a problem with the spin mount / bearings / excess wear or not tightened up enough!!

Mats For Spin Dryers

One that came with our NIB spin dryer tore apart after a few uses so that was that. Went into my Hoover parts stash to see if some of the extra mats would fit, but sadly they are too small. No huge deal.

Simply do what commercial laundries have done since extractors came upon the scene. Make sure the load is properly placed in the machine and if required one can tuck towel or some such sturdy cloth over the top of the load.

Mats and even the towel bit are only really to prevent small items from being flung up and over the tub. They also prevent fabric damage should parts of the load rise up during extraction and rub against the inside of the lid, etc...

Small items should always be loaded at the bottom of a spin dryer load so the heavier objects will cover, this keeps them from pushing up being flug up and out of the basket. The rest we all know, the load must be pushed down so it is well away from the top of the basket.

Right, so as long as I properly load the spincan I shouldn't have any problems running sans the mat.

If the spinner is vibrating excessively with an even load then you possibly have a problem with the spin mount / bearings / excess wear or not tightened up enough!!

It's fine with nothing in it. Only when you really fill it up do you get vibration issues but that might of been it being improperly loaded down with pants. I can tighten up the linkage between the spincan shaft and the pulley but I'm not shifting it otherwise. It took a full week to get in a spot where it would not leak. There is however pretty heavy wear along the shaft which probably might cause some vibration.
