Leveling your washer
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by
properly leveling the washer.
1 For free standing installation and with the washer
within 4 feet (1 m) of its fi nal location, place a level
on top of the washer.
2 Use adjustable pliers to adjust the leveling legs so
the washer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side,
and stable corner-to-corner.
3 Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel
for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate
leg(s) so the washer sits solidly on the fl oor on
ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a
minimum for best performance of the washer.
