4.Check the levelness of the washer. First, place a level on the lid near the console. Then place the level on the side of the washer in the crease between the top of the washer and the cabinet.

Level the front.

Level the side.

5.If the washer is not level, move the washer out slightly, tip back and prop up the front of the washer with a wood block. Adjust the right front foot by loosening the locknut with a 9/16" or 14 mm open-end wrench, then twisting the foot up or down as needed.

HELPFUL TIP: You may have to adjust the back feet to level the machine. If you are installing the machine in a tight or hard to reach area, you may have to move the machine out to reach the feet comfortably. You may wish to lock the back feet before moving the washer back into place.

6.After the machine is leveled, make sure all four feet are stable and in firm contact with the floor by gently rocking the washer front to back, side to side, and diagonally. Adjust the feet if necessary, repeating steps 4-6 as needed.

7.Use a 9/16" or 14 mm open-end wrench to turn the locknuts counterclockwise on the foot tightly against the washer cabinet.

IMPORTANT: If the locknuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
