Washer Vibration? Front Load Washer Mold? Towels Smell like Mildew?

 (Last Updated June 23, 2010) 

We receive many emails from happy customers - below is one of the recent (see others under feedback)!

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the anti-vibration pads. I have a Samsung front load washer on a pedestal unit. It is located on the basement floor not far from the floor drain. The floors is not very level. I have struggled ever since I bought the washer 6 months ago to stop it from walking across the floor from 2-8 inches with each load. I leveled it several times. No luck. I found your anti-vibration pads searching on the internet. I installed them last week. After about 6-8 loads the washer has not moved AT ALL. It is rare to find a product that performs better than expected. Some
might hesitate to take a chance on a product that costs -50. Your product worked great for me.

Why Trust Front Load Toad?

Welcome to the home of the Front Load Toad!  We started this web page shortly after purchasing an LG Front Load washing machine ourselves.  First, we quickly realized that the Washer Vibration problem needed a solution.  We were amazed that there was so little data on this subject and mostly from other Front Load Washing machine owners.  We decided to test the solutions ourselves (see video) to determine what worked best against the massive Washing Machine Vibration.  We were so pleased by the results of the GVI Pads, that we contacted GVI and asked if we could market and sell the pads. 

Along the way, we learned some valuable tips that we tried to pass along in this web page (like being very careful with the Water Plug!). 

We hope to continue to add valuable information to Front Load Toad. Some of the specific information and solutions you will find here includes:

- Front Load Washer Vibration Caused by High Speed Spin & Unbalanced Loads

- Mildew Smell on Clothes and in Drum

- Maintenance and Tips
