Speed Queen front loader walking

[brucelucenta]

Absolutely! Not too sure about you, if you see a speed queen washer and dryer as an investment though unless of course you take in washing and charge for it. Then perhaps, but better have a back up set of machines! That much is obvious.

By jove, you have given me a great idea. Since those units are vastly underused, I could take in washing and drying, collect the extra quid and apply it to my mortgage

take in washing and charge for it.

I'm getting ready to put a sign out in my front yard. What a great investment!

very few understand these days that Laundry is a health issue.

Make the clothes smell good and all is right with the world.

Good God... I am getting tired of this nonsense. Cheap detergents. not proper rinsing,

Just stupid.

the problem might be link to the wash rinse temp

The problem itself might not be the detergent but related to the wash rinse tempature if you wash in cold water it can cause at least thats what i am thinking the washer to get unblance i learn the hard way and i have a whirlpool duet washer of 13 years old thats near an outdoor wash and i notice if i had to do a load using cold water it depends on the load when the washer would reach the spin portion it would vibrate a bit more now i use hot water for towels and white heavy duty cycle warm water heavy duty cycle for colors and it has solved the problem and i have also switchback to using powder detergent that seem to disolve more easly in the dispenser if its a frontload than if i would use liquid or pods. and if when the time comes to replace the duet with a new washer dryer set i have put number 1 speed queen possably an awn432 model and will use the same pattern and avoid the normal eco cycle.

made a typo

What i ment to say was an outdoor wall

My Miele would walk until I took 1x2 strips and screwed them down on both sides and across the front of the floor.  It too is perfectly level...but it can't walk now!  Made a pen for it to play in haha.

None of my washers have ever 'walked' unless the load was off-balance enough for the tub to repeatedly impact the cabinet.  Machines with an off-balance switch may move a little depending how quickly the oscillation pattern triggers the switch.

That big fat middle finger looks like a perfect fit.

To each his own.

Thanks to all for their suggestions

The anti-tip range brackets were a particularly creative idea.

After I &itched about this, I moved it to a different spot several inches forward, leveled it again, and it has not walked since!

 

[brucelucenta]

Hurray!!!! Success!!!! Sometimes the simplest things are the solution. Thank goodness!

I've got no issues with my electronic control top loader, my mother has the old Amana based on the design it's 16 years old or so at this point and works fine.

No walking with a load of very heavy towels!

Yay I'm a happy guy.
