Most washing machines have a 25kg block of concrete near the top to hold the machine steady during a spin cycle. This significantly adds to the weight of the appliance when it is being delivered by transport or moved by hand.Click to see full answer. Keeping this in view, what is the main function of a concrete in a wash machine?The concrete counterweights on a front-load washing machine keep the washtub balanced during the spin cycle and from “walking” across the laundry room floor. A broken counterweight can fall from the front of the machine and cause the washtub to strike the inside of the washer.Beside above, what does the motor do in a washing machine? The motor can be used to agitate the drum (both forwards and in reverse) by switching the field winding with respect to the armature. The motor can also be run up to the high speeds required for the spin cycle. Nowadays, variable-frequency drive motors are more commonly used instead. Consequently, why is my washing machine so heavy? It’s because of the drum ballast weight often in the form of a concrete block or cast iron weight bolted to the outer drum of the machine. This drum is suspended by springs from the frame. The weights are intended to lower the natural frequency of the bounces of the sprung drum.How do you fix a clogged washing machine?To clear a clog from a washing machine, try unhooking the drain pipe and pouring hot water down the drain to release the soap and scum. For stubborn clogs, push a plumbing snake down the drain. As it goes down, turn the handle clockwise anytime you feel a clog, which will grab the debris and allow you to pull it out.
