Forums Serious Talk My Wacky Washing Machine

Donator — She/Her Posted 4 years ago ( 2020/07/5 20:15:22 )
So I recently moved right up the street from where I used to live, and I now live on the 3rd floor of a condo complex (3 floors per building).

My washing machine somehow seems to have a hair trigger to make the balance go completely off and it'll just thrash about and make it sound like we've got Armageddon or something going on up here. Like right now, I literally just have maybe 8 towels in there washing, and out of nowhere it started doing that thing I just mentioned.

Not sure what to do? Mind you, the complex owns the appliances, so I'll probably end up calling their maintenance team to see if they can do anything about it. But do you guys have any advice or have you dealt with something like this?

I hope we're not disturbing our downstairs neighbors (if we even have any). ;A; I don't wanna come off as a bad neighbor!

I think washing machines just Be Like That sometimes. Mine is, and it's relatively new. Maybe ask your neighbours if it bothers them? (If you're friendly with them, that is.)

@sunny: Yeah I didn't expect it because these appliances look fairly new (though not brand new, but that's fine). And I haven't met any of my neighbors yet. But I might go pop downstairs later to see if anyone lives below us and apologize. Or leave a note if nobody's home. ^^;

@Lilmisskushy: I just wish I knew what was causing it. =n= It's a huge pain because it means I can't leave my place while I'm washing something, at least until the issue is resolved. If I remember tomorrow, I'll try to call the office to see if someone can look at it later this week when I'm off.

It must just be the machine itself. Or perhaps the towels were uneven in there so its throwing the internal spinner around? Ours makes that noise if the clothes are super uneven OR if my dad's washing his sneakers lol
