Level the Washer

Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and vibration.
NOTE: Installing washer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing,
is not recommended.

2. Check that all four feet are in firm contact with the floor.
3. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top edge of the washer, first
side to side then front to back.
If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping back. If the
washer is not level, first prop the front with a wooden block and adjust the front feet
height moving the hexagonal plastic part as necessary. Repeat to adjust back feet.
4. Make sure all four feet are stable and resting on the floor. Then check that the washer is
perfectly level (use a level). Repeat steps 1-3 until washer is level.
