<p>A front-loading washing machine has a drum with a mass balance (11) attached by a screw bolt (13) to the drum end face (17). The drum wall has spigots that engage with matching holes (16) in the mass balance, leaving an annular void (18) between the spigot and hole (16). The hole in the mass balance terminates as a detent against the spigot surface. The void between the spigot and mass balance is filled by deformable mass. The spigot has an approximately star-shaped cross section. The spigot has a nut lock tab (14). The deformable mass (19) is a bonding agent with a hardness in the range 30 to 80 shore a.</p> |
