LEVEL WASHER/DRYER

IMPORTANT: Level washer/dryer properly to reduce excess

noise and vibration.

If washer/dryer 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/dryer cabinet. Then

turn the leveling foot clockwise to lower the washer/dryer or

counterclockwise to raise the washer/dryer. Recheck levelness

of washer/dryer and repeat as needed.

HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of washer/dryer

about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that

will support weight of washer/dryer.

With washer/dryer in its final location, place a level on top

edges of washer/dryer. Use side seam as a guide to check

levelness of sides. Check levelness of front using lid, as

shown. Rock washer/dryer back and forth to make sure all

four feet make solid contact with floor. If washer/dryer is level,

skip to step 2.
