Level the Washer
Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and
vibration.
1. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the
top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to back.
If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly
before tipping back. If the washer is not level, first prop the
front with a wood block and adjust the feet as necessary;
then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary. Repeat this
step until washer is level.

er the washer is level, use a 9/16" open-end wrench to turn
the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: All four fe
et must be tightened. If the nuts are
not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
4. The
washer should not move front to back, side to side, or
diagonally when pushed on its top edges.
