Level Washer; Complete Installation - Whirlpool GVW9959KL2 Use And Care Manual

Level Washer

Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise and
vibration.
1. 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.
2. If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly
before tipping back. If the washer is not level, prop up the
front of the washer with the wood block and adjust the feet
up or down as necessary. Repeat this step until washer is
level.
3. After the washer is in the final location and level, use a
(14 mm) open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly
against the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: If the nuts are not tight against the washer
cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
4. Tilt the washer forward until the rear of the washer is at least
4" (10.2 cm) off the floor. You may hear the self-adjusting rear
feet click into place. Lower the washer to the floor.
