NOTE: The floor must be strong and rigid enough to
support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded,
without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much
flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid.
A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may
not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to
the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the
floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may
hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.
