Level the Washer or Dryer and Pedestal
Properly leveling and locking the feet on the washer or dryer
avoids excessive noise and vibration.
1. Check that the four locknuts on the pedestal feet are
tightened against the pedestal cabinet using a 14 mm
open-end wrench.
2. Place the washer or dryer in its final location and check the
levelness of the washer or dryer. The washer or dryer should
not move front-to-back, side-to-side, or diagonally when
pushed on its top edges. Remove the shipping bolts from
the washer.
3. If the washer or dryer is not level, move the washer or dryer out
slightly before tipping back. First prop the front with a wood
block, loosen the locknuts, and adjust the pedestal feet as
necessary. Then prop the back and adjust the pedestal feet as
necessary. Repeat steps 1–3 until the washer or dryer is level.
IMPORTANT: All four feet must be tightened. If the
locknuts are not tight against the pedestal cabinet,
the washer or dryer may vibrate.
