Can the cupboard for the washing machine and dryer withstand all the vibrations?
Yes. Washtower® washing machine cabinets are developed specifically to absorb the vibration of a running washing machine steadily. On the WSCS1462, a continuous base plate forms the foundation of the cabinet, and the construction is built up from this sturdy base. This gives the material the chance to absorb the vibration that arises during washing and spinning and to direct it downwards through the construction.
How does a Washtower® cabinet absorb vibration?
A washing machine causes vibration above all during the spin cycle. With an ordinary piece of furniture, this vibration can be passed on to the cabinet and its surroundings. That is why the WSCS1462 was developed specifically for placing a washing machine at height.
The washing machine stands on a continuous base plate that forms part of the complete cabinet construction. The cabinet is built up from this sturdy base. As a result, the forces and vibration of the washing machine can be absorbed by the material and directed downwards.
What provides the extra stability?
A continuous base plate: forms a sturdy base on which the washing machine stands.
Cabinet-in-cabinet construction: helps absorb the vibration of the washing machine and direct it downwards.
Adjustable feet: these let you level the complete cabinet accurately.
Wall fixing: the base cabinet is anchored firmly to the wall with four large wall brackets and four 6 cm bolts.
What if my washing machine vibrates extremely?
The cabinet is developed to absorb the vibration of a normally functioning washing machine. If a washing machine vibrates or thumps exceptionally hard, it is wise to check the machine itself as well. An incorrect load, a machine that is not properly level, transit bolts that have not been removed or a technical fault can all cause exceptional vibration.
Can the cabinet fall over from vibration?
The cabinet is anchored firmly to the wall with the supplied wall brackets and bolts. Combined with the continuous base plate, the cabinet-in-cabinet construction and the adjustable feet, this makes for a stable setup, including during the spin cycle.
