Leveling the washer
Importance of leveling the washer
Your new washer uses high spin 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 vibration-free use of your washer.
Follow these steps:
Install the washer on a level and solid surface,
1.
preferably in a corner of a room.
If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet
2.
as required to level the washer. Do not place anything
under the washer feet to help level the washer.
Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The
3.
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.
Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to
4.
make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
Press down on each corner of the washer top to make
5.
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.
When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock
6.
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:
After determining which washer feet need to be
1.
extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly
to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far
2.
as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the
correct amount to level the washer.
When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm
3.
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.
