cabinet face. Refer to Figure U. If the dishwasher door is opened
when the edge of the door is against the face of the cabinet,
dishwasher door damage and cabinet damage will occur.

STEP 14 LEVEL DISHWASHER

IMPORTANT –
Dishwasher must be level for proper dish
rack operation, wash performance and door operation. The
dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to back.
This ensures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own,
circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will
close without hitting the side
of the tub.
• Remove the lower dish
rack and place a level on
the door and lower rack
track as shown in Figure V.
• The height of the wheels
are adjusted from the front
of the dishwasher along
with the 2 front legs on the
bottom of the dishwasher.
Begin the leveling process
with the front legs by
individually turning the
front 2 legs.
By adjusting the
front legs first,access
to the rear leveling
bolts is maximized
easing rear wheel
adjustment. When
the front legs are
adjusted to a height
resulting in an
appropriate gap to
the upper cabinet,
proceed to
adjust the rear
leveling wheels
by adjusting the
leveling bolts.
Individually turn
the 2 bolts to
adjust the rear
wheels. Slowly
rotate the 2 bolts
counter clockwise
to raise the back of the dishwasher, and clockwise to lower it.
Continue to adjust the feet and wheels until the dishwasher is
level as illustrated in Figure W. Ensure all 4 legs/wheels are firmly
in contact with the floor.
• The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator
is centered left to right and front to back. Also, the dishwasher
door should close without hitting the side of the tub.
• Replace the lower rack.
• Pull each rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does
not roll back or forward on the door. If the rack moves, adjust
leveling legs.
Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify dishwasher
is leveled.
Pull the dish racks half way out. They should stay put. Open and
close the door. The door should fit in the tub opening without
hitting the side of the tub. If the racks roll on their own, or the
door hits the side of tub, re level the dishwasher.
