Phil for Model Number Whirlpool Stylemaster No. 4213574 Rev D Washer The drum on my washing machine tilts back toward the wall. It works fine but shouldn't the tub be level? When I pull the tub back toward the front of the machine and it becomes level it falls backward again when I turn it loose. Are there springs to keep the tub level?
Answer Hello Phil. The tub on all front load machines are tilted towards the wall so the water won't be against the door seal as much. The front of the unit is generally supported by springs while the rear is normally supported by struts, (similar to shocks). The tub is supposed to rock on its' mountings so the suspension can properly absorb the vibration of an out-of-balance load. Without this "slack" the machine would stomp its' feet.
