How to Level the Washer

• Position the washer in its final location.

  • Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain hoses. If you have a carpenter’s level a, you can use it to check that the washer is level. The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all 4 leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.

    

• Open the lid and look from above to see if the tub is centered.

  • If the tub is not centered, readjust the front feet. If you have a level, check the washer with the level.

    

  Note

  • To check if the washer is level from side to side, place a level on the back edge of the lid.

  • To check if the washer is level from front to back, place a level on the edge where the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place the level on the top of the lid. Using these surfaces will result in the washer being unlevel.

    

• Adjust the leveling feet.

  • Turn all 4 leveling feet in one direction to raise the washer or the other direction to lower it.

    

• Recheck the washer’s levelness.

  • Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks,readjust the leveling feet.

  • If the lid does not stay open properly, extend the front leveling legs until the washer is level from front to back.
