Vibrations during the spin cycle for washing machines are more prevalent for brands such as LG or Samsung because of lack of dampening materials. Brands such as Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, GE, Meile, Bosch and Frigidaire are not as bad, unless your floor is slippery such as ceramic tiles or smooth concrete. If you don't put foot pads, the washing machine will move during the spin cycle and may cause damage to itself, the dryer and other adjacent fixtures such as cabinets or walls.
There are plenty of shock absorber anti-slip foor pads or mats on Amazon but some of them are relatively expensive for the good quality, hardened rubber-plastic-polymer types of materials. Unfortunately some of them, according to reviews smell very badly. Some of the cheaper ones are really soft and don't last long, essentially wasting or throwing money away. Using the vibration dampening mechanism reduces the noise caused by a non stable washer or dryer. Anti walk pads reduce vibrations, noise and slipping for smooth, quiet operation. Shock absorbing, the textured anti-vibration pads effectively eliminating ‘walking’ appliances. Of course, it goes without saying that both clothes washers and dryers have to be leveled to avoid these kind of problems.
To make your own foot pads, all you need is interlocking EVA foam mats sometimes called puzzle tiles ordinarily used for gym, exercise rooms, kids playground, babies room, yoga, martial arts, studios and more. You should be able to get them free from these places if you don't already have ones at home or you could buy them from Walmart, Lowes or Home Depot. They're fairly inexpensive. All you need to do it cut into a small circle larger than the appliance foot or base and install them. If you want to them prettier, beautiful or aesthetically pleasing, then you can use many household materials as the cover.

Thank you young man! This is gold! 🙌🏾
Oh my goodness, just what I needed. Thank you.
appreciate your brilliant idea as we have the problem dancing of washing machine
Aiman, you just morphed from a parts replacer to a mechanic. Congratulation!
Well done !
Thanks for posting.
Awesome 😎 thanks for sharing !
Brilliant Idea.. I'm going to use it to reduce the vibration. 👍
Good ingenuity!
Thanks you very much young man God bless to you
very smart Aiman :)
Few things, usually washer vibrates because the machine is not level or the machines feet cannot grip on the floor.
My problem was solved by raising the feet of washer leveling it and then locking the lock nut in place.
If above does not solve it problem, better solution is to put rubber pad and then put plywood on top to isolate the floor and also give a good grip under it.
thanks for lots of information.
after watched that, i decided to buy one in aliexpress and wait two mouth. just 3 bucks
Your awesome young man.We have those type floor cushions we use for our grand baby to crawl and play on so our cost will be "0" !! And hopefully we say goodbye to dancing washing machine. Thank again!
Glad to be of service! Thanks for watching!
Great video !!!
Great comment ;)
Very cool video, I wish the video wasn’t over 10 minutes long for 2 minutes worth of information though...
Thanks for the info, I’ll try it out.
Nice one! Pls next time don’t push down on a glass container, could be very dangerous if it accidentally breaks. I’m definitely making it for my washer.
As a single mom i want to thank u!!!
i have a top loading washing machine, so it's usually only shaking violently when it's loaded with more laundry on one side than another, causing an imbalance. it's more likely to be imbalanced with large or heavy items or overloading, and nothing is going to help except opening it and redistributing the laundry. eventually i took the screws out on the bottom for some reason and could never get them back in, but it seems to work just fine and i don't notice any shaking any more, but that could also be due to the smaller and balanced loads
wouldn't it be better to take and put a whole surface with the faux layer to absorb not only the vibration but the sound coming from the working the machine(back & forth motion, spinning motion)
Where in England can I get that stuff
Better buy greas from auto shop and apply on sock you will fix that problem very easy thank you
Mashallah. Allah bless you brother.
If the washing machine is completely level, then it will not move. You cannot stop the machine vibrating by using those feet. Those feet are used to stop the transfer of vibration from one surface to another. You can put them under your fridge or whatever machine you like, to stop the irritating noise. For example if you are in the room next to where an electric apparatus is on, then you might not hear the machine's vibrations as much, or maybe it can completely eliminate it. The machine will vibrate as long as it is on and working. If your washing machine moves you need to level it, and if that doesn't help then there could be other issues, which are usually repaired easily.

Evidently you are having the same problem or you wouldn’t be here watching this. Mine has been dancing since it was new. It is level too. It’s a Maytag top of the line. Before this one I had a kenmore that never vibrated and danced around. The place I bought it from sent their repair man and he made sure that it was level. I guess clothes gets out of balance during the spin cycle. You are certainly right that it needs to be level but that is not necessarily the answer to these problems.
@@JohnDavis-yz9nq Yes true. If everything is fine with the machine, then levelling would help, but if something else is defect, then certainly that needs to be fixed.
Clothes definitely get "out of balance" when washing and spinning - the machine has to have the mechanisms in place to treat whatever is in the drum as one unit of mass and spin it. If that mechanism is intact, then its the levelling that needs to be corrected. Regarding your machine: Maybe the place you bought it didn't store it or transport it correctly and the drum got damaged/out of place, therefore its a good idea to get a technician from another company to have look at it.
@@punchipoint8457 my Maytag sits on a bare concrete floor in the utility room with no floor covering. Funny it doesn’t do it when I wash clothes only when my wife does. She doesn’t have a clue about the size of the load to set it on or how to load clothes. When I wash clothes I make sure that I am close when it goes through the spin cycle. When I put it on a lower load capacity it doesn’t move around. When you put it on a high level with not enough clothes in there it does. I had a man that works for Maytag tell me that mine is last of the good ones before they started making them cheap. I have even thought bolting it to the floor so it can’t move.
What was the cost of materials and time making them? Betcha more than $17
Exactly, I will just overnight the Amazon one and call it a day.
Cool
Why does ur washing machine look like it came from a laundry shop. Cool video
Thank u so much brother 🙏 great idea 💡 God bless you 🥰
Don't push down on a glass, if it breaks you will have a really bad day. Just draw round it with a pen instead.
Surgery on my hand when that happened.
this is so true. i've seen glass jars break when simply trying to wash them (might've had an old hairline fracture i never noticed from being dropped before or temperature shock), don't put that much weight on glass
I have that washing machine... you forgot to take the 4 Shipping screws from behind the washer. That's why it screeches and shakes terrible. Those machines are the smoothest and quietest I've ever used.
@chink &oink Front loading washers come with screws in the rear to secure the drum to allow transport without damage it. When you are going to install it (and in the manual it says and shows it to you) you must remove those screws to free the drum and allow its free movement. Sorry for my English, but I hope it was helpful.
@@MrToede Thank you sooooo much! I was having issues with my machine literally moving in every direction by a lot. All of the advice was based on levelling my machine (and it was, yet it still was dancing around). When I read your comment, I went back to the manual and it was clearly instructed to remove 4 screws/bolts to release the drum so it has free movement. I don't know why I didn't read the manual/instructions first but I learned my lesson. Thank you again.
I used them rubber feet anti vibration things,made it worse
THANK YOU!!!!!
Please dont put body pressure down on a glass jar like that. It could smash. Nice vid tho will give it a try
You should NOT press down with your body weight on a glass jar! Breakage will cause serious injury! Nice presentation.
It's a Mason jar!
@@victorian.mccormick6298 proof that washing machine engineers are stupid.
My to post is about a dancing washing machine.
Bruh thats an insane amount of fiddly work to save a couple of bucks
Thou$and dollar, high efficiency, LG brand front loaders with storage bottoms - but he's concerned about "free".🤷♂
How do you know how that wasn’t the reason he was able to afford those by saving his money from things can easily be done cheaper.
Did your ears skip over where he mentioned his dad. How do you know he isnt at his parents?
It's annoying when washers dance or rock. If anyone else has the issue and doesn't think of this. Here's an easy diy for a person with that problem. People can be so helpful and kind, sharing tips. 😶🌫️
I must say I agree with other commenters that using a glass jar probably isn't the safest, another option could be to use a soup can. Also, maker shorter videos that are more to the point.
Pretty silly because instead of working and earning money you spent an afternoon doing this which required many inputs. You have to go and buy the gym mats and if you don't have caps you need a product which has such a container and cap and then spend it all before you can do this. I'd go with the USD17 option.
Take the 4 screws out the back it won’t jump
Yeah the kid's making an instructional video without reading the washers actual instructions... the irony! 🤦♂️
Cut that part where you press your hands against the jar. That is dangerous AF. You don't know how shitty quality some jars could be. I would even expect some to even try that with a glass and have their hands shredded.
I slapped a glass jar to seal the top. It exploded, & I had to have surgery on my hand.
You don't need to do all these. Put a door mats (made out of waste clothes) under four legs. That's it. It will solve the problem
I think this will make the view of the machine messy but it's useful
What is a door mat made out of waste clothes?
Time is money though.
I like your ideas but I suggest you not spend too much time on chitchat. Clift notes are better for serious watchers :)
You are absolutely right, sometimes I do talk too much in my videos. I will strive to improve my performance going forward. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching...
Auntie Erika
Thats bullshit,you showed dryer working but didn't realize that the clothes were not moving!
Oh..Do not ever put such pressure on a glass - if it breaks you will get a very bad cut.
UA-cam is so racist lol. They played a ziplock commercial where they were storing dumplings wtf using chop sticks type dumplings
WTF 😂
I 🤔 your are dancing and walking not washing machine 🤣
The foam cost more than the actual foot thing. But thats fine everything you show is Amazon and I dont have an amazon. I see the main point is to fine something at home that we dont use
