Front Load Washer Pedestal Cheap Trick Save Money - Samsung WF220ANW

How I simply, easily and cheaply adapted a Whirlpool front load washer pedestal to work with a Samsung Model WF220ANW front loading washer. The stand was a mark down at Lowe's because it had a small ding and minor scratching. I got it for $50 marked down from $250. It works great. Saved me $200 bucks! :D Happy me!

This is what you call a tight ass, who can't forfit some real dollars thinking that he's going to take the money with him to his grave, I can just imagin the appearance of his wife she must look all raggiddy....dude spend the money and stop being a tight w/ your money if not dont' spend it at all.

@Taxminia0311 LOL...you got nothin better to do than this? how pathetic. an ignorant person and his money are soon parted my friend...so I guess you are broke.

before you come back to insult me further please remember this...arguing over the internet is like competing in the special olympics...even if you win, youre still retarded.

You cheap mug! It's voids your warranty plus it's going to vibrate like crazy..Was it really worth it??? No! Wait till they go on sale.. or just spend the extra.. it may work for one or two wash loads.. then your going to gripe and moan and groan because your unit does not work right.. because you tried to save a buck or two.. seen it done a thousand times...Beware!!! - a 15 year appliances sales person!

@forgotmypassword328 ahhh yes, the used car dealer of the appliance world giving advice...LOL

FYI the washer is running fine...for months now. It cannot void my warranty because nothing on the washer was modified. It's the same as if I built stands from wood, that would not void my warranty either.

methinks thou likes to sell OVER priced accessories at the expense of the working man. your opinion is your own, but in this case means less than nothing. thanks for stopping by :)

Love your workaround. Glad you didn't listen to the nay sayers. Next time you have to lift that beast, check out forearm forklifts. I got mine at a local hardware store for about $15 and they make it way easier to lift

[MultiMediaMafia]

@savingface78 hey thanks for the tip on the forearm thingys LOL...I watched a demo of them on youtube, great way to lift. you can get them on ebay for about half of local shipped from japan or china I think.

now I am thinking I could have bolted schedule 40 pvc pipe caps to the unit (already white) and not have to paint them...oh well, it works anyway :)

I agree! The pedestals are overpriced. Smart move on the manufactures part. Let's sell our washers a little cheaper and then make up for it by selling overpriced pedestals. I have that exact same pedestal for my Duet from 7 yrs ago, and I wondered if/when I get a new front load washer, if the current pedestal I have will even work with the new one, even if it's a whirlpool.

Nice simple vid of how to save $200.00 and I appreciate it very much! I have the EXACT same washer which replaced my old Whirlpool with the same exact base you have. I am going to perform the surgery tomorrow on the old base so I dont have to spend the $200.00 for a Samsung base AND I dont even have to search for a scratch and dent special. I already have it, lol!

Im usually good at figuring out fixes like this, but this saved me time and effort!

Thanks for saving me a chunk of change brother!

Good job

Screw the trolls on this vid...I've had my fair share on my own vids as well...

That being said, nice job on the pedestals...I'm going to just build my own out of 2x6's and 3/4" ply. :-)

Thanks ,so much,Ivebeen scratching my head on how to use my oldpedestals on my new lg washer.I guess it still works fine .My wife had been complaining anddjust ask me today if Ihadmove the washer ,I said no,after attempting to use the bathroom on the backwaal against thewasher during a heavy load spin cycle I knew it was muchmore serious issue than I thought.It sound like freight train coming through the wall and literally scared the s--- out of me .Im fixing it today.

@plasticstuntmancom I would imagine they all have attachment hardware.. it makes everything stable when they are firmly attached together

[plasticstuntmancom]

@Darrenhuseby thanks very much friend. I tried anyway :)

[plasticstuntmancom]

@wizardoflawz you can build your own pedestals to match. search youtube for built ones. I have seen a few nice looking ones.

@snakedaddyvince hey, sorry it irritated you so much, I was just trying to be thorough. yes it could have been shorter probably.
