Good Vibrations Vibration Dampener Pads:

Because front load washers spin as fast as 850-1400 RPM, proper balancing is very critical. This problem is increased on upper level laundry room floors thus creating vibration or your "walking" washer. The manufacturers recognize the problem and recommend that home owners reinforce upper level floors which is expensive and not practical. GVI has extensively tested several prototype rubber compounds to create the problem solving vibration dampener pads. GVI pads can also be used on top load washers to prevent "walking", and can also be placed under dryers to create a level working surface between washers and dryers. See our special pricing when ordering two sets.

GVI offers a double adhesive disc that can be used to secure the vibration dampener pads to the floor. Certain floor surfaces, like ceramic tile, may be uneven, and could cause the washer to walk. Using the Adhesive discs will solve walking problems caused by uneven floor surfaces, or severely unbalanced loads. Carefully read the installation instructions, or please contact us before ordering the discs. When ordering two sets of pads, adhesive discs will be provided for the washer only. The discs will not affect the level working surface between the washer and dryer. Additional sets of adhesive discs are available upon request.

Good Vibrations are specially designed washing machine vibration dampener pads for your front load washer and dryer. The solid rubber pad design reduces the transfer of vibration up to 80%. Our pads can help prevent washers from “walking.” They also eliminate the need to reinforce upper level floors. GVI pads can also be used with top load washers.

Good Vibration pads are gray in color, measure 3 5/8 inches in diameter, are 1 1/2 inches tall, with 3/8 inch recess, weigh 12 oz. each, and are virtually invisible when placed under your appliance. The recess in the pad ensures that the feet will stay in place, while allowing ample space for level adjustment. The pads can be used with stackable units, or with pedestals, placing the pads under the feet of the pedestal.

Travis, Billings MT:
I never thought such a simple product would make such a HUGE difference. Before I got the Good Vibration pads, my washer made the whole house shake, making the neighbors who live downstairs pretty mad. The shaking was so bad the washer door was even banging around, making more noise. I put the pads under it, no more door shaking, no more destroying the floor. And of course the neighbors love the pads too!

I received the anti-vibration pads promptly and they work as expected. The transaction was simple and there were no problems. The main purpose for the purchase is a wet basement. The pads lift the washer and dryer to keep the legs dry and prevent rusting.

I used the pads and it reduced the vibration quite a bit and its well grounded to the floor. My floor used to vibrate alot before while the washer did the final spin but now with the pads on, it has cut down the vibration drastically. Its a good product to have.

Rock-Stop Bar:

The Rock-Stop Bar concept uses the dryer's dead weight or mass to significantly dampen movement of the washer during spin cycles.  The bar is mounted at the very top of both machines where maximum movement occurs.  Noise and vibration are greatly reduced since it uses the combined weight of both machines securely locking them together.  It increases the K-factor (stiffness) which the washer cannot achieve by itself. 

The most violent spin cycles are encountered with front-load washers mounted on 1st or 2nd floor laundry rooms on subfloors, which this product was initially designed for.  However, the Rock-Stop Bar has also been shown to work just as well with top-load washers on subfloors.  If your machines are mounted on concrete or tiled floors and they shake excessively, Rock-Stop Bar has shown to improve NVH as well.

Rock-Stop Bar is comprised of an anodized 1”x2” thick-wall aluminum bar with Velcro ® brand hook and loop and PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) on both sides.  Both Velcro ® brand hook and loop and the PSA have been designed for this application to hold up under cyclical machine loading (cannot be duplicated).  The hook and loop and PSA have been shown not to reduce tensile strength in over one year of constant wash machine testing, even with the Velcro ® hook and loop pulled apart 100 times.  The special hook and loop used in this application will take 1000's of separations before any degradation occurs, very unlikely even with servicing machines often — it will outlast your machines. What's great about this Velcro® hook & Loop design are the bonds actually get stronger with machine compression during vibration, locking them together even more!

Some Additional Benefits of the Rock-Stop Bar:

• Easier to install vs. products under machine(s), no lifting required!
• No need to buy two sets of pads to make machines equal height!
• Less expensive than all other workable solutions out there!
• Helps eliminate clothes falling between washer and dryer!
• If necessary, adhesive can be removed with common citrus solvents!

Rita from Novi, MI:

When we first bought our expensive Whirlpool Sport Duet, the salesman sold us on the newly improved 6-point suspension system.  He told us that we would not have the issues we had with previous top-loaders, even on our 1st floor laundry with linoleum over  ¾” subfloor.  Well, we got the thing home, balanced it perfectly, and it sounded like a 747 taking off at over 30 feet away in adjacent rooms.  We had to do laundry only when no one was eating in the kitchen or watching TV in the family room, very annoying.  The machine even walked and shook books off the shelves in the adjacent study sharing a mutual wall with the laundry room.  Rock-Stop TOTALLY eliminated the noise and vibration from the washer.  We can even leave the laundry room door open when it's on 1200rpm high spin without hearing it over normal TV volume – that's AMAZING.  With laundry room door closed, can't hear it at all.  Vibration and noise stopped.  Machine was where we set it and hasn't moved.  This is truly an amazing product.  All wash machine manufacturers should throw one in the box if their machines are installed on subfloors!!  Thanks Rock-Stop!!
