LEVEL WASHER
IMPORTANT: Leveling your washer properly reduces excess
noise and vibration.
1.
Move washer to final location
Move the washer to its final location. Rock the washer back
and forth to check whether all four feet are stable and in firm
contact with the floor. If the washer rocks, minor adjustments
may be needed to level the washer on your floor.
Check the levelness of the washer. First, place a level
on the lid near the console. Then place the level on the side
of the washer in the crease between the top of the washer
and the cabinet.

If washer is not level, use a 9/16" or 14 mm open-end or
adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise on feet until they
are about 1/2" (13 mm) from the washer cabinet. Then turn the
leveling foot clockwise to lower the washer or counterclockwise
to raise the washer. Recheck levelness of washer and repeat
as needed.

about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that
will support weight of washer.
