My sister bought a new Roper or Whirlpool (she said Roper) washer yesterday. Her old Whirlpool was leaking oil. She and the girlfriend fetched it from Best Buy (along with a new stove, microwave, dishwasher, and maybe a dryer, not sure what all they got). Everything was boxed until they got it home. She says the washer wants to prance all around the garage when spinning. They pulled the shipping strap, have it sitting solidly, even bubble-level, on concrete in their garage. She says the tub seems "real loose" but also says it's the same as her old machine (which was a direct-drive Whirly) ... and that it centers itself when she shoves it toward any direction ... so I assume all the springs are in place. I'd sure like to have a look at it, but can't get there now (2 hrs away).
