“Vibration concern I need to install the LG 2.7 cu front loader in an 1890 three story house on the top floor. I am concerned that the floor may not be solid enough to deal with the vibration of this model and will disturb the people downstairs. The floor has ceramic tiles. Just how much vibration does this unit generate> Should I consider a top loader instead?”

With LG's Direct Drive Motor and LoDecibel™ Quiet Operation, this technology creates quieter washer cycles by reducing vibration and noise. To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Please note that 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 in it, 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 frontloading 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.
