Abstract

A ballast system for a washing machine is described. The ballast system is comprised of a reservoir (109) having means for permitting water to flow between said reservoir and the washing machine drum (101), the reservoir (109) further comprising an inlet for enabling said reservoir (109) to be filled with water and an outlet for enabling water to be drained from said reservoir (109), the system further comprising means for filling said reservoir (109) and maintaining said reservoir (109) substantially full of water between washing cycles of said washing machine. In which the weight of said reservoir (109) when it is substantially full of water acts to counter balance vibrations generated by rotation of said washing machine drum (101) during a washing cycle.
