Miele Washing Machine Upstairs vibrating floor

Hello Duncan. It's a great shame because the Miele washing machine is substantially superior in every way to a Beko machine. The problem ironically is that the Miele is so well-made that it is very heavy and needs to be on a solid floor. Miele themselves say that their washing machines need to be ideally on a concrete floor or a reinforced floor. Ours is in our garage on a concrete floor and when it goes into spin it just doesn't move, and even when I once had several boxes balanced on top of it and it went into full spin none of them moved at all which is remarkable.

During spin the outer drum inside has to move with the centrifugal force of the laundry being spun at high speeds. This movement is absorbed as much as possible by the suspension but inevitably you have a large metal box with a drum bouncing around inside and this creates movement and vibration. If you have it on relatively thin and springy joists that are often upstairs then these sounds can get amplified. Just make sure you have removed all the transit packing from the machine. You'd be surprised how many times that as happened. If the transit packing is not removed then the washing machine will seriously move about and vibrate.
