Hi Dmitri,
one more typo I guess:

Although those English dictionaries that I have consulted do indicate that
"result" is an intransitive verb, there are many occurrences reported by Google
when this verb takes a direct object like in the following phrase: "However,
inner space of the stand 2 of the drum washing machine 1 is not used,
resulting a problem of wasting space."
English is not my mother tongue so I can't claim I have a good ear for the
language. Are there any native speakers who could help, please?
