Sorry for the confusion.. I was posting about how long it takes for it to
actually spin.. When I very first instlalled it I had a vibration problem
but that was due to the locking bolts, but vibration isn't my problem now.

My problem is that when it gets to the spin cycle it will start to spin,
stop start and stop.. If it is the least bit out of balance it decides that
it has to stop again.. Very aggrivating to say the least.

I'll take your advice and call LG for service unless you've got any other
ideas.

Thanks,
- Mike

I assume you removed the locking bolts.

Having the machine on a wood floor, may make it vibrate more. If the
machine
is sitting on a cement floor with a hard rubber industrial mat under the
machine, it should be more stable once it settles in.

I have done home installations where I used a 120 lbs cement slabtile for
each of the washer and dryer, with an industrial shock resist type mat
under
each of the machines directly. Since the cost is not great, I do the same
for the dryer to match.

We have done some industrial washing machines where we torque bolted the
machines directly to the cement floor, with hard rubber shock mounts under
the feet. This way, they never move, and never vibrate very much.

The above is done only after verifying that the machines are in proper
working condition.

In the case of a new washing machine, it is best to call the service rep
and
have them come to your place for a service call. This way, you will have
verification that your machine is working properly. Let them suggest their
way of stopping the machine from vibrating, if there is no fault to be
found.

From our experience, we found front loading washers sometimes have a
tendancy to vibrate more than the top loaders. But, the front loaders are
much more efficient, and have much greater cost savings over the long run.

I have a brand new LG Tromm washing machine that gets to the spin cycle
and
has trouble with a lots of its loads. It seems that it is trying to
balance
the load but it will sometimes take an hour to do this. When installed I
leveled the unit so I don't think that is the problem..

The dryer is usually done in half the time that the washer is! I've neve
had
a front loader before. Is this normal to have to wait so long for the
stupid
thing to spin out?

Thanks..
