Leveling the washer
Importance of leveling the washer
Your new washer uses high spins speeds to remove water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that your washer is level and that all four washer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most
Follow these steps:
1.Install the washer on a level and solid surface, preferably in a corner of a room.
2.If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer.
3.Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.
4.Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
5.Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer doesn’t “wobble“. There should be no "give" or movement. All four washer feet should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the washer being level to prevent vibration.
6.When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the locknut).
Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:
1.After determining which washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
2.Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.
3.When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tight against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.
