I had 2× mid 20s tenants move out so I was doing a general tidy up. I do my most of my own maintenance and turn up within 24h of any identified problems.
I tested the washer dryer machine by putting 2 medium towels in it for a cycle.
I have never heard such a loud washing machine in my life. It was like a machine gun/ flapping barn door/ back firing car.
On inspection the drum was supported by 3x springs at the top and had 2x oil shock absorbers at the bottom to triangulate/ stabilise it. Both were in this condition, so it was completely undamped and trashing around in every direction. It was vibrating so violently it was actually damaging the floor beneath it.
How do folk carry on like this ?
