<p>This invention relates to a connection mechanism (6), utilized in washers/dryers (1), which comprises a spring washer (10) whereby it is achieved to attach the balance weight (5) to the washing tank (4) as gap-free. This balance weight (5) assists to attenuate the forces applied during operation by increasing the inertia of the washing tank (4), whereby some time-dependent loosening during operation is compensated and the noise level is prevented from increasing which may be caused as the balance weight (5) detaches from its fixed position.</p>
