Leveling Dishwasher

Check that the dishwasher is level and adjust the
leveling feet if necessary.
CAUTION
• Failure to level the dishwasher may result in
leakage, problems closing the door, or noise.
• Where the cabinet opening is narrower than
recommended (see Preparing Cabinet
Opening), the dishwasher must be carefully
leveled and aligned so that the dishwasher is
supported fully by the 3 leveling feet and is not
hanging from the installation brackets. Failure to
do so can result in leaks from the front of the
dishwasher, errors, difficulty in closing the
AE
door, or failure to operate.
Checking Leveling
To check that the tub is level from front to back,
remove the lower rack and pour 135 oz. (4 L) of
water into the bottom of the tub. The water level
should be near the center of both tub lower
indentations at the front.
With the lower rack removed, place a level on the
inside wall of the tub to check that the dishwasher
to the air
a
is level from side to side.
• If you do not have a level, try using a
smartphone level application instead.
Make sure that the gap between the tub walls and
the door liner is the same on either side.
Adjusting Leveling Feet
Adjust as needed until the dishwasher is
completely leveled.
• Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until they
are all in firm contact with the floor. Failure to
level the dishwasher may prevent the door from
closing properly and the dishwasher will not turn
on.
Adjusting Front Leveling Feet
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the front
leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub.
