@scott_diy: No fake social media here ⬇️ This is my attempt at building a built-in washing machine. I’m determined to build my own cabinets. But this extra strong built-in cabinet for the washing machine is proving difficult. I want to show that it’s not all easy, and it sometimes doesn’t go to plan. Admittedly my content can sometimes gloss over the difficulty of projects I’ve completed. But thats only because it’s not a full video like you might see on YT. Hopefully, anyone who has done this before will be able to give me some good tips going forward on this project. I don’t fancy spending more time and money on this build only to be unhappy with the outcome. #DIY #cabinet #washingmachine #diyproject #kitchenrenovation #builtin #builtinwshingmachine #laundry #utilityroom #homerenovation #homeimprovements
if you fix it in to the wall in this config you're going to shake your actual house.... washing machine on the floor my dude

Lots of wall fixings, more than you think you need. Also sit the machine on top of some gym matting to absorb some of the vibration and prevent movement.

To help with vibration set it on a heavy mass to damp low frequency high amplitude vibration and a rubber mat for high frequency low amplitude vibrations. Heavy duty paving slabs.

I would change your configuration around. I know it looks and works better to have the washing machine hip height, but I’d put it on the floor on a rubber mat. Then hip height can be your shelf and pull out, top shelf storage. Any leaks from the washing machine would cascade down and rot all your timber as well if put in the middle.

From someone who works in hospitality and not construction, the vibrating problem could come from overloading the machine when washing. An overloaded machine offsets the equilibrium of the drum when

Look at the inspro vid it’s a 600 unit above and below then has end panels on flush with the doors this gives an in frame look but will make the space for the washer 600 wide. The shelf below the

Why don’t you just have the washing machine on the floor and storage above?

It does make you wonder how the mdf stacked machine units cope with the vibration though? I’m not sure I’ve not seen anyone make this consideration, does it NEED to be fixed to the wall?

Slotted L brackets at the top will help with movement instead of fixed screws. Nowhere near strong enough on the bottom though.

polystyrene will absorb some of the shaking I'd put some between the frame and the wall and sit the washer on it (chocks)as well , as long as there is sufficient air flow

could be dangerous, washing machine falls out. Cracking of walls, failure of fixings. I would put it on the floor.
