Leveling The Washer - LG T1789EFHKD Owner's Manual

Leveling the Washer

The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds. To
minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,
the floor must be a level, solid surface.
NOTE
• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to
level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more
than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.
• Before installing the washer, make sure that the
floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and
oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet
that move or slide on the floor can contribute to
excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact
with the floor.
1
Position the washer in its final location.
Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the
water and drain lines. If you have a carpenter's
level, you can use it to check that the washer
level. The slope beneath the washer should not
exceed 1 inch, and all four leveling feet must rest
firmly on the floor.
Level
2
Open the lid (door) and look from above to see
if the tub is centered.
If the tub is NOT centered, readjust the front feet.
If you have a level, check the washer with the
level.
NOTE
• To check if the washer is level from side to side,
place a level on the back edge of the lid (door).
• To check if the washer is level from front to back,
place a level at the side of the washer on the
edge where the cabinet side meets the top cover.
Do not place the level on the top of the lid (door).
Using these surfaces will result in the washer being
unlevel.
3
Adjust the lower leveling feet.
Turn in one direction to raise the washer or the
other direction to lower it.
4
Recheck the washer's levelness.
Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently
to make sure the washer does not rock. If the
washer rocks, repeat steps 1-3.

CAUTION
• Using the washer without leveling it may cause
excess vibration and noise, leading to a machine
malfunction.
• Extend the leveling feet only to level the washer.
If you extend the leveling feet unnecessarily, it
may cause abnormal vibration of the washer.
NOTE
• If the washer is not level, the lid (door) may not
stay open properly. If this happens, extend the front
leveling legs until the washer is level from front to
back.
