Why with some of the old automatic washers you had to bolt it down? |

back then an automatic washer was a really valuable asset, like a car, and bolting down prevented theivery. (Just joking!) Laughingly, Lawrence/Maytagbear |

For what it's worth, most commercial "hard mount" washers still have to be bolted down. The upside is such units can handle heavy and even unbalanced loads without a wimper. Have seen a 45lb SQ coin washer filled with two heavy feather beds spin like they were sacks of eiderdown. Mind you, one could feel the vibrations coming through the floor, but the washer was rock solid. Launderess |
