Whirlpool W10178072B installation instructions Installing the Pedestal

2. Washer transport bolts

Locate the transport bolts on rear of washer. Transport bolts must remain in washer while pedestal is installed. When laying the washer on its back, hold the base down on the floor. Do not remove the plastic film, corner posts, or top cap.

INSTALLING THE PEDESTAL

Follow these instructions to install the pedestal on a washer or dryer.

1. Locate spacer pads

Make sure that all four spacer pads are in place on the top of the pedestal. Spacer pads reduce vibration between the pedestal and the washer/dryer.

NOTE: If your washer/dryer has feet installed, remove them.

2. Prepare the washer/dryer

Washer Bottom Dryer Bottom

Partially install two of the #12 x 5/8" hex-head sheet metal screws in the lower holes. Leave a space of about 3/8" (10 mm) between the screw head and the bottom of the washer/dryer.

3. Attach the pedestal

Move the pedestal against the washer/dryer bottom. Slide the pedestal’s keyhole slots over the lower two partially installed screws.

4. Secure the pedestal

Position the pedestal toward the front of the washer/dryer and install the two remaining hex-head sheet metal screws. Do not tighten completely.
