Leveling - Maytag MLE27PN Installation Instructions Manual

LEVELING

Leveling your dryer properly reduces excess noise and vibration.
1. Remove cardboard from beneath dryer. Place a level on top
edges of dryer, checking each side and front. If not level, tip
dryer and adjust feet up or down as shown in Steps 3 and 4,
repeating as necessary.

2. Grip dryer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all
four feet are firmly on floor. Repeat, rocking dryer from side
to side. If dryer rocks, go to Step 3 and adjust leveling feet.
If all four feet are in firm contact with floor, go to Step 4.

3. If dryer is not level, use a 14 mm or 9/16" open-end or
adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise (as viewed from
above) on feet until they are about 13 mm (1/2") from the dryer
cabinet. Then turn the leveling foot counterclockwise to lower
the dryer or clockwise to raise the dryer. Recheck levelness of
dryer and that all four feet are firmly in contact with the floor.
Repeat as needed.
HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of dryer about
102 mm (4") with a wood block or similar object that will
support weight of dryer.
