Ok, so I am not sure which I should get blue or red, the nut that holds our drum in the washing machine keeps coming loose, and I keep having to tighten it.

That's what I was leaning towards, but then thought that it has some pretty good vibration, so I guess I could try blue, if that don't work, red

WTF..... does color have to do with it ya racist bastard...LOL 'who loves ya bro.

They have nuts with plastic on inside that that keeps it from vibrating loose. I'm sure if you go to the hardware store you can find it in the size you need. Not sure exact name of it but it will stay on. The nut is tapered so it holds very well.
Hope info helps.

yes lock nuts will work great if not i think there is a green type of lock tight that is better than blue and red.
