Zusammenfassung:The cabinet (12) is decoupled from the suspension system (60) by allowing the supporting feet (64a-64d) to move relative to the cabinet (12). The cabinet (12) is coupled by sliding friction to the washer supporting feet (64a-64d) so that the moment of inertia of the cabinet (12) does not lower the washer/floor natural frequency. Thereby such natural frequency is above the spin speed of the washer (10). In this way, walking typically occurring at the natural frequency (i.e. when the spin speed matches the natural frequency of the washer and floor system) is prevented.
