Strange -- the 1400 RPM on my old Hotpoint is probably the most
stable spin speed, as it's well above the resonant frequency of
the case and framework. Even unbalanced, the machine stays rock
solid. If it's very unbalanced prior to moving up to spin speed
and the machine fails a third attempt to re-balance the load,
it will only do 1000 RPM.

Indeed, and theres no contradiction between those facts. Think about it.
