How to install a washing machine so it doesn't jump

Many owners of automatic washing machines observe how it begins to vibrate and even jump during operation. They ask the technician how to install the washing machine so that it does not jump. But if you know exactly the cause of the vibration, you can try to fix the problem yourself.

Is it possible to fix the washing machine to the floor?

During the spin cycle, the Samsung SM moves quite a lot.
Has anyone attached the SM to the floor? What was the result? What's the best way to do this? You can make four holes on the tile for the legs, if it’s in the bathroom. Maybe there’s just an imbalance in the linen?

Is the machine level?

2ndreika I am interested in principle: will the SM break if it is rigidly attached to the floor?

2Alex_Kov You wrote a very valuable comment

2mixator No. Just standing on the floor.

It seems to me that with a policy of complete trust in the existing modern drum balancing system (with its clearly observable efficiency) and rigid fastening of the SM body to the floor, its innards will be smashed into rubbish in less than a year.

and if she jumps with all her guts, then there is a chance of breaking them in the same period of time.

did you remove the shipping bolts? I found some information here,” > “In general, rigid fastening of the machine’s legs to the floor is not provided. But in a number of cases (for example, when installed on a plinth, on an inclined slippery floor, on an unstable wooden floor, etc.), such fastening can be done. For this purpose, some models have special brackets for attaching the front legs.”

A short digression about what will happen if the transport bolts are not removed. We once received an application for warranty repair of an ARDO A-600X washing machine located in a rural area. When asked what was wrong with the machine, the owner answered briefly: it doesn’t work.

When the master arrived at the place, the following picture appeared before his eyes. The machine worked for 8 (.) months with the transport fastenings not removed. To prevent the machine from jumping around the room, the owner replaced the front rubber support legs with a stationary mount made of a metal corner, fixed with dowels to the floor.

In addition, the machine is almost completely covered with brickwork on both sides. After the owner dismantled his structures and removed the machine and opened it, the following was discovered:

Saving and saving your refrigerator

Summer, as everyone has noticed, has become very hot. From 30 degrees and above. I noticed how long the refrigerator runs. And it wastes a lot of energy. I did this by blowing the radiator. The idea came from memory from the magazine “Young Technician”.

The motors operate under the control of such a temperature relay. It allows you to set the boundaries of the relay operation. I chose the relay based on economy.

This is how I mounted the measuring sensor.

Power supply from such a 12 volt unit.

Even according to the most moderate estimates, such a device reduces the operating time of the compressor by 15 percent. Accordingly, there is less wear on the compressor and energy costs.

True, you need free space to place the fan.

There are relays with a ready-made housing.

When installing the relay, it can be configured (for perfectionists): one point is taken in water with ice (0 degrees), the second in a boiling kettle (100 degrees).

Based on selection, I chose 36 degrees as the switching point.

There are such devices on 2 refrigerators.

In summer, when the temperature is 30 degrees and above, the refrigerator does not work around the clock.

How to secure a washing machine to tiles so it doesn't wobble


Many owners of automatic washing machines have seen their iron assistant “walking” around the room. This happens especially often in the case of tiled floors. During such “walks,” the device may independently disconnect from the electricity or water supply, or even turn over. To avoid a possible accident, you need to securely secure the washing machine to the tiles. There are several ways to do this.

Lifehack: taming a running washing machine)

I think many people have a problem with the washing machine running across the floor (tiles)

The store offered me special pads for the legs (prices I saw ranged from 200 to 1500 rubles). I couldn’t really find anything about this on the Internet (someone suggested drilling the tile, hammering in a dowel and tying it to it)

All this is kind of hemorrhagic)

Reasons for the spontaneous movement of large household appliances

The main reason for a washing machine to move is vibration. The fact is that during the rotation of the drum with laundry, a centrifugal force arises, which is transmitted to the body of the device. Most of it is damped by a counterweight and a shock absorber system with springs. If the engine is turned on at maximum speed, and the laundry is distributed unevenly inside the drum, the vibrations cannot be completely suppressed.

Most often, narrow models “walk”. Manufacturers, trying to reduce the size and weight of the device, install excessively light counterweights inside. Their inertia is not enough to stabilize the drum during spinning. At the same time, in other modes the body is completely motionless.

If you notice that a recently purchased device moves on its own, the cause of the movement may be improper installation. Often it is enough to simply level the case, and the problem will go away by itself.

Of course, damage to one or more units of the washing machine cannot be ruled out. The reasons for vibration can be different, for example:

Incorrect installation and operation of the device

The reasons why the machine rattles and jumps during the spin process are very diverse - from improper installation of the unit to failure of its important components. And while some of the causes can be eliminated on your own, eliminating others will require the help of a qualified specialist. To begin with, we suggest you figure out in which cases you can cope with the problem without outside help.

Shipping bolts not removed

If the problem was discovered immediately after delivery of the new equipment, it may not be a problem with the device at all. Often, during installation of the unit, buyers forget to unscrew the shipping bolts located on its rear panel. Such bolts firmly fix the washing machine tank to protect the device from damage during transportation.


When installing a new washing machine, be sure to unscrew the shipping bolts

After removing the parts, the drum hangs freely on springs, which dampen vibrations of the device during washing. If the bolts are not removed, the rigidly mounted drum will vibrate violently, causing rapid wear of many internal components. The number of shipping bolts may vary between different models of equipment, so we advise you to check the instructions before removing them. In order to remove the parts, you will need a wrench of the appropriate size. For washing machines from Indesit or Zanussi, its size is 10 mm, for devices from Samsung, LG or Bosch brands - 12 mm.

The device is unstable on the base

Another reason for the strong vibration of the washing machine during the spin cycle may be its incorrect installation.

First of all, pay attention to the surface on which the device stands: it should be hard and monolithic (ideally, a concrete floor or tile). Most often, machines bounce on a wooden floor: at high speeds, it bends under the weight of the device, increasing the vibrations created by the drum

In rare cases, the machine may jump because the floor in the room is too smooth and slippery. In this case, you can cope with the rumble by placing a rubber mat under the device or by sticking special anti-slip stickers on its legs. If you can't find similar stickers in the store, use double-sided construction tape.


You can restore the washing machine's stability by adjusting the height of its legs.

We also advise you to pay attention to how tightly the legs of the device are screwed. Sometimes during operation their fastenings become loose, which leads to instability of the machine.

To check that the legs are secure, simply rock the machine with your hands. If it is “limping”, then the supports should be adjusted and secured in the correct position with a lock nut. You can also reduce the length of the legs by screwing them deeper into the base of the device. This way you will achieve greater resistance of the unit to vibrations.

The laundry is unevenly distributed in the drum

To avoid many problems during operation of the device, the developers advise you to always follow the recommendations for the weight of the loaded laundry. Uneven distribution of items can overload the drum and cause the machine to rattle during the spin cycle. If you suspect that the rattling noise is caused by an imbalance, follow these instructions: stop the spin cycle, remove some clothes from the machine, spread the remaining laundry evenly around the drum, and then restart the spin program.

Do not overload the washing machine with laundry

How to make a car stand still

There are several ways to reduce vibration and securely anchor your washing machine to the floor. First of all, you can simply make the device heavier. Some owners do this; they place a bowl of water, a bag of powder, or a stack of books on the top lid.

The extra weight does add stability to the device, but it's not an option. Not only will such a design not decorate the apartment, but there is also a high probability of pushing through the thin material of the top panel. It is easier and safer to use special stands and other products designed to reduce vibration.

Anti-vibration stands

Since this problem is not new, there has long been a simple and inexpensive solution to it - anti-vibration stands. For the most part, these products are small circles made of durable polymer that absorbs vibration, thereby ensuring stability and reliable fixation of the case on a smooth surface.

These stands have an attractive appearance and will definitely not spoil the impression of good repairs and high-quality household appliances. There are different models of stands available for sale; they differ in shape and color, so it’s easy to choose the ideal solution for any interior.

The process of installing anti-vibration products is not particularly difficult; moreover, you don’t even have to turn off the device. To prevent the machine from wobbling, simply tilt its body to one side and place a stand under each of the legs. Then the same actions are performed for the other side. There is no need to re-align the case; the material of the stands itself will ensure its horizontal position.

Anti-vibration mats

Another product that is designed to prevent the washing machine from spontaneously moving on the tiles is anti-vibration mats. A thin and aesthetically pleasing product will make the body stand in place, significantly reduce vibration during spinning, and therefore help reduce the level of noise produced.

Externally, the product looks like an ordinary rubber mat, but structurally it consists of two layers with different characteristics. The top layer provides anti-slip action, the bottom has anti-vibration properties. The product has a porous structure. The materials used in its manufacture ensure resistance to deformation under load. The mat is resistant to moisture and household chemicals and can be used in a wide temperature range.

All that needs to be done to prevent the car from jumping on the tile is to lay this product on the floor so that each of the legs stands on it.

Proflex products are distinguished by their high quality and environmental safety. Anti-vibration mats are two-layer, odorless, and in addition to reducing noise levels, they act as an antistatic agent, preventing charge from accumulating on the body.

Mattix-Vibromats sheets and stands are characterized by high wear resistance. Can be used even at extremely low temperatures. This is a good choice for a warm apartment and cottage that does not have heating.

Lux products are budget-level anti-vibration mats and stands. At a relatively low price, the products have fairly good consumer characteristics.

Shahintex mats are universal; they are perfect for both a narrow, small-sized washing machine and a full-fledged laundry combine. The products do their job perfectly, absorb vibration, reduce noise, do not require special care, and are easy to clean.

Vibration and spontaneous movement of the washing machine is really a problem that anyone can face. A seemingly minor nuisance can result in a serious accident or breakdown, which will entail costly repairs.

With all this, it is easy to avoid catastrophic consequences; it is enough to initially use anti-vibration stands or other products for a similar purpose and, of course, correctly install and connect the machine.

How to install a washing machine on a wooden floor so it doesn't jump

If the room in which it was decided to install the washing machine has a smooth concrete floor, then the owner will not have any problems. However, it often happens that the flooring in a certain part of the room is not up to standard. In this case, some decide to place pads under the legs of the washer or slightly adjust the legs, however, this is the wrong decision. Experts say that before installing a washing machine on a wooden floor, it is necessary to evaluate the evenness of the coating, because the service life of the device directly depends on it.

Wood is the most common flooring material, but if installed incorrectly or during operation, its level may change slightly, which will negatively affect the quality of the device.

Concrete pad

The best way to upgrade the coating for a washing machine is to prepare a concrete base. It has sufficient strength and good rigidity, which allow you to confidently hold the machine loaded for washing in all operating modes. The disadvantage of this option is that it is time consuming. In addition, it will require more tools and materials.

Tools and materials

To complete this work you will need to purchase:

It is necessary to select a set of the following tools for the material:

Pouring the base

Before starting work, you need to dismantle the laminate or other wooden floor. Next, you should mark the perimeter of the future base according to the dimensions of the machine and begin its manufacture:

You will need to wait about two weeks for the solution to harden sufficiently before installing the machine.

Fastening the machine to the wall

Attaching a washing machine to the wall is a difficult and dangerous way to raise the product above the floor level. Poor installation of the machine exposes it to possible fall and breakage.

You can hang the car on the wall anywhere. But in order to do this harmoniously and originally, you should choose places filled with other furniture nearby. For example, you can attach the machine near the boiler or install it in a wall cabinet in the kitchen.

Mistakes to Avoid

Speaking about the vibration of a washing machine on a wooden floor, it should be mentioned that this is powerful destructive energy directed at a front-loaded unit. The stability of this state gradually shortens the service life of the most important parts and leads to inevitable breakdown.

Built-in washing machine

When the base of the washing machine rests on a hard surface and vibrations are dampened, the life of the washing machine is automatically extended without failures in the system. If the unit is placed incorrectly on a shaky floor, it “jumps” and sways from side to side.

To prevent users from making mistakes in the future, you should carefully consider several examples of incorrect placement:

Tray for the machine

Having examined several common eccentricities of skilled craftsmen, we conclude that the proven methods recommended by the manufacturer, which allow for fastening, are much more reliable than the invented ones.

Plywood podium

Such a base is easier and cheaper to make. It does not require much time, but is inferior to concrete in strength. This means that this option temporarily solves the problem of stability and requires periodic monitoring and updating of the design .

Inventory

As a set of materials you will need:

The tools you need to work with these materials are:

Making a podium

In this case, there is no need to dismantle the laminate or boards, which simplifies and speeds up the work. If necessary, you will need to strengthen the floor by eliminating unwanted movement of the boards. After this you need:

All that remains is to install the washing machine on the finished base and level it by adjusting the legs. Then you can proceed to connecting communications.

Installing the washing machine on a wooden floor

Good afternoon, a hackneyed topic, I googled it, but still didn’t come to any clear conclusions.

How likely is it that a leveled machine on such a basis will fail prematurely? Is it possible to do this or absolutely not? Unfortunately, there are practically no places with a concrete base in the apartment.

I don’t want to end up buying equipment during installation. Thank you.

It worked like that in my kitchen for 7 years, then in the bathroom for the same amount of time. But the wooden floor on the joists was durable and did not play, with linoleum on top. The main thing is to position the legs accurately.

Yes, of course, you can’t tell from the description, well, the laminate is pressed down a little, it’s on a soft lining. And if the car doesn’t jump, then you don’t have to worry about wear and tear?

We put the machine on the laminate, it vibrates quite strongly, the master showed how the laminate moves underneath it, no amount of substrate will help. But I don't have another place for it yet.

Once again I’ll ask the experienced ones: how much will this shorten the life of the device? In principle, I am ready to sacrifice half of her lifespan in order to live with comfort.

It doesn’t “jump” as they write here and there, it doesn’t physically move from its place, it shakes a lot, when I put my foot on the floor next to it, I feel how the vibration is strongly transmitted to the substrate.

Brand if combustion is important. And how can I have problems with refusal to repair under warranty?

and that really neither thick rubber nor a steel plate are 2-3 mm. which will press down the laminate will not help, nothing at all except cutting out a place for concrete? it’s just that all this fuss with vibration damping may not be economically justified if the machine lasts not 10 years but 5

Although no, I made a mistake, at the end, during a spin of 1000, it led, the laminate is slippery

I don’t care about the laminate, the main thing is that the SM does not fail early, I’m even willing to hold it a little while spinning. Well, probably a good rubber mat, if it doesn’t dampen the vibration, at least prevent it from sliding. looking for

Installation Requirements

Before you begin installation work, you need to figure out where and how the washing machine should be placed.

As a rule, the standard instructions recommend adhering to the following requirements:

The smoother the base, the more reliable the installation

Note! The vast majority of models are equipped with adjustable legs, which make it possible to adjust the vertical position of the device. However, the stroke of these legs rarely exceeds 20-30 mm, therefore preliminary leveling of the field is highly desirable.

In addition, do not forget about other wishes for the installation location:

Installing a washing machine on a wooden floor

If the room in which it was decided to install the washing machine has a smooth concrete floor, then the owner will not have any problems. However, it often happens that the flooring in a certain part of the room is not up to standard. In this case, some decide to place pads under the legs of the washer or slightly adjust the legs, however, this is the wrong decision. Experts say that before installing a washing machine on a wooden floor, it is necessary to evaluate the evenness of the coating, because the service life of the device directly depends on it. Wood is the most common flooring material, but if installed incorrectly or during operation, its level may change slightly, which will negatively affect the quality of the device.

Reasons for the movement and noise of the machine during spinning

There are factors that cause the washing machine to vibrate and jump. Some require scrupulous diagnostics and labor-intensive and correct repairs. There are some that are easy to detect and eliminate yourself.

Shipping bolts not removed

If you forgot to remove the shipping bolts during installation, the device will shake violently during the first wash. These fasteners prevent the mechanisms from working properly. Parts wear out faster. In all models, including Beko, Bosch, Ariston, Kandy, Samsung, the number of bolts is different (most often there are 4). How much is exactly indicated in the technical documentation.

Incorrect installation of a household appliance

If the equipment is installed incorrectly, it may become unstable. In many apartments, the floor has an uneven surface. One of the basic rules for the correct installation of an automatic machine is to have a straight floor, without holes or recesses. Often, owners build a special concrete base for the equipment, on which tiles and a rubber mat are laid. Then the washing machine does not run away or move during operation.

Article on the topic: Candy washing machine who is the manufacturer

Presence of foreign objects between the drum and the tank

Buttons, small pebbles, and small change can get stuck under the rubber cuff of the drum. As a result, it will vibrate when washed. The cuff is folded back, turning the drum, and everything is wiped with a dry cloth. Before loading and starting to wash, you need to check the pockets and make sure the buttons are sewn on well.

Shock absorbers and dampers - tank sagging

Gradually, the springs that fix the tank become less elastic ; they poorly control vibrations. Needs to be replaced with new ones. Another reason that leads to the fact that the equipment makes some kind of jumps is the malfunction of the shock absorbers. Their task is to soften the swing of the drum during strong rotation. If they break, the tank will sag. To check the condition of the shock absorbers, you need to open the door, slightly pull the tank towards you and lower it. If it moves to the sides and does not fit into place clearly, it is necessary to replace two shock absorbers at once. Faulty parts will hit the body, which is why the washing machine knocks and jumps loudly during the spin cycle. Problems with dampers mainly manifest themselves in the fact that the plastic coverings that fit around the plates or tubes extending from the tank break.

Counterweight defects

In order for the washing machine to stand still and vibrate less, there is a special heavy plastic or concrete block inside it. It is bolted to the tank. Normally there should be two counterweights . Over time, they crack and pieces break off, resulting in an imbalance. The fact that they need to be replaced or the fastenings tightened can be judged if knocking noises are heard when the equipment is operating, and it begins to shake.

Article on the topic: What to do if water gets into the vacuum cleaner

The springs are worn out

These elements for fastening the tank dampen vibrations of the drum during its operation. During operation, they wear out and must be replaced.

Bearings are worn out

If the machine tries to jump, makes jumping movements, and a metallic grinding sound is heard, the cause may be wear or destruction of the bearings. The oil seal becomes leaky, liquid begins to penetrate into the bearing, and rust appears on it. The side shaft rubs against the drum. If you continue to use the washing machine, the drive belt will break.

The laundry in the drum is not distributed correctly

Incorrect distribution of loaded items leads to equipment shaking. An imbalance occurs if too much clothing is loaded into the tank. You cannot fill its volume more than 2/3. Modern automatic machines are equipped with sensors that inform about overload by displaying combinations UE or UB on the display.

Washing machine jumps and vibrates during spin cycle due to limescale build-up

Many owners are interested in why the washing machine jumps during the spin cycle and what to do in this case. The reason may be a large amount of scale, which slows down the rotation of the drum . Sometimes a special powder cleaner helps. But if after this the equipment continues to vibrate when wrung out, you should call a specialist.

Engine damage or manufacturer defect

The drum rotates thanks to the drive from an electric motor. When its brushes wear out or interturn short circuits occur, the motor begins to move at half its power. This is not enough for a normal spin. The fault can only be determined by a technician after diagnostics.

Unsuitable floor surface

A washing machine that is installed on a floor that is too slippery will run and shake during operation, even if everything is done according to the level. To avoid distortion, it is recommended to place a rubber pad of equal thickness . You can do this yourself.

Loosening the belt

Those models of machines in which the drum and motor are attached with a belt, the latter will become loose. As a result, the drum will begin to shake. The unit will vibrate, move, and make loud banging sounds. This serious breakdown is related to the motor and requires specialist intervention.

How to install a washing machine on a wooden floor

As mentioned earlier, if the floor covering is uneven, simply twisting the legs is not enough, since the device will still deteriorate with each wash. It is impossible to ignore the unevenness of the surface, since the vibration from the washing machine, which occurs when spinning clothes, can worsen the condition of the floor and ruin your nerves - and this is already a serious problem. Moreover, after 2-6 weeks it is quite possible that the device may break down, which is quite expensive for the owner of the washing machine.

Connecting a washing machine

To get started, simply installing the device is not enough. It also needs to be connected. The instructions below will tell you how to do this.

Electrical connection

This is the most difficult and critical stage of all work. Therefore, it is best to entrust it to an experienced electrician.

If you still decide to make the connection yourself, then consider the following:

Advice! Do not connect the ground to radiators under any circumstances! If a short circuit occurs in the machine, then a voltage of 220 volts will flow through the pipes. This can lead to electric shock and even death.

Connection to water supply

For this purpose, a special tap is used that is connected to the water pipes. It is needed to shut off the water after using the machine.

If you don't do this, then one day a breakthrough may happen. In this case, water will flood not only your kitchen, but also the neighbors living on the floor below.

To install the tap on a free section of the pipe, you will need to hire a welder.

But you can do without it:

Connecting the cold water supply using a tee and tap

As for connecting to the hot water pipeline, it is usually not required. This is due to the fact that most modern machines are equipped with heating elements that heat the water to the required temperature.

Sewer connection

It can be implemented in two ways:

Let's consider the second method. To begin with, we note that there are 2 main types of siphons - tubular and bottle. The second of them has an advantage over the first because it has a water flask.

The flask acts as a kind of settling tank. For example, if you drop a ring in the sink, it will not go down the drain, but will remain in the flask, from where you can remove it yourself.

There is a special type of such products on sale. It is equipped with an outlet for connecting the washing machine hose. You can buy it at a regular hardware store.

Connection to the sewer using a special siphon

Installing this part is not difficult. First we disconnect the sewer pipe from the old siphon and remove it. Then we install a new one and connect a pipe to one of its terminals, and a hose from the washing machine to the other. After this, our device can be considered ready for use.

MIFARE copier for 220 rubles

We continue the series of posts about rfid tags and how to record them.

The post Copying the key from the MIIFARE intercom with an MCT phone aroused considerable interest among readers. A method was described for copying keys using an Android phone to CUID MCT blanks. The next post was a continuation. Continuation of the post “Copying the key to the MIIFARE intercom with an MCT phone” Copying blanks using pn532 and a phone with OTG to ZERO blanks. This one will be about the simplest assembly of the cheapest copier MIFARE 1k.

There are many devices for reading and writing mifare. The first thing that comes to mind is proxmark3. This is a really cool thing, a multitool in the world of RFID tags.

No less popular is the ARC122 reader.

To connect it to a phone or computer, we need a USB-UART adapter. Anyone, for example.

Connection couldn't be easier. On the board we need 4 pins, VCC, GND, RX, TX. They are signed. Connect to the corresponding ones on the adapter. Only RX and TX are mirrored. RX-TX, TX-RX. That's it, our copier is ready. To fully work with a computer, ideally you need to install something on Linux, for example kali. But we are lazy assholes, and setting up a copier with Windows is a hemorrhoid, and working in a terminal can be intimidating. Therefore, catch the archive with a convenient program. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/mdnR/BrMf2jJGv

I use a copier with a computer, we can read unencrypted tags, encrypted ones knowing the keys (post about the sniffer here Mifare 1k copier / sniffer), and also write CUID MCT blanks. You can also write ZERO, but unfortunately, you won’t be able to change the UID using this software.

If you have a phone with OTG support, you can record ZERO without any problems. In addition, two key cracking attacks will be available. Link to post at the beginning.

Here's my version. The module is a little more expensive though.

The operating mode switch has fallen out. Now the UART cannot be changed. Soldered the wires to the board.

I applied glue under the adapter and soldered it to the pn532 board. Then I soldered the wires to the adapter.

I also glued it and varnished it.

Thank you for the benefits, subscriptions and discussions in the comments. My other posts on this topic can be found using the RFID tag or on my profile. My contact is there too.

Location of counterweights

Finding counterweights in an automatic machine is very easy. The easiest place to get to is the top weight. However, there are always more problems with dismantling this block. To “climb” to it, you need to:

The upper counterweight will be immediately in front of your eyes. The unit must be inspected for defects. Next, you need to evaluate the condition of the front weights; to do this, you will have to remove the front wall of the case. The further algorithm of actions will be as follows:

Now you can inspect the front counterweights. If there are many cracks on them, the elements will have to be replaced. We'll show you how to remove damaged concrete weights to make room for new blocks.

Installation method

If there is a possibility of reconstruction

The price of a good automatic washing machine is quite high, so it will be a shame if it breaks down in the first year of use. So you need to pay close attention to the correct installation of the device.

Part of the flooring needs to be removed

If possible, the wooden flooring at the installation site must be partially disassembled and a concrete base poured from below.

We do this according to the following scheme:

Note! When marking, it is advisable to add at least 30-40 mm in all directions so that the legs do not stand on the edges of the concrete slab.

Pouring and leveling the concrete area

Now we need to wait until the concrete reaches its design strength. Since under normal conditions this takes about four weeks, it is advisable to complete all work in advance.

At the end you still need to level the legs

Installing the machine into the wall

This option is non-standard, but very effective. This is because in this way, you don’t have to take up space on the floor with the washing machine. Thus, you will make the room more free.

If your house is full of holes in the walls for various wiring, or has a closet, then transform it all into a place where you can put a washing machine. You may need to drill out and widen the hole in the wall a little. But there will be a washing machine installed there, which will not interfere and take up space on the floor.

For reliable operation of the machine, it is important to secure the product well. To do this, you first need to drill holes in the wall for the bolts on which the straps installed at the back of the machine will be attached. It is also important to check the stability of the bottom of the wall closet. If there is a risk that the washing machine will fail, then you should crush and concrete the entire lower opening.
