be more concerned that any washing machine on a upper floor can
malfunction and cause a flood. the front loaders spin faster and can
cause vibration, but water cascading thru your home can be much mucjh
worse and making a claim on homeowners insurance can permanetely up
your rates.........

add a waher pan with drain and a main solenoid valve so water is only
on when washer is running, braided lines are a good idea too.
