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.

we went through this.. brand new house, stick built, seems strong in
every way..
washer shook the house badly once it went into spin cycle. Pictures on
the walls
on the first floor, and light fixtures, were shaking badly.. Sears has
a liberal return
policy and after 2 service calls we sent it back and bought a top
loader.
