Level The Washer; Complete Installation - KitchenAid KHWV01RSS Use And Care Manual

Level the Washer

One foot has been installed at a different height on your new
washer. The other three feet were preset at the factory. Properly
leveling your washer will minimize excessive noise and vibration.
1. Using a " (14 mm) open-end wrench, verify that the nuts on
the three preset feet are tightened against the cabinet.
2. Slide the washer to its final location.
3. Push on the upper front panel to be sure that the washer is on
the rear feet. Lower the right front foot until it contacts the
floor. By hand, firmly rotate the foot up to an additional
1 turns.
4. 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.
5. Rock washer gently front to back, side to side and diagonally
to make sure that all four feet are in firm contact with the floor.
6. After the washer is level, use a
to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: All four feet must be tightened. If the nuts are
not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
7. If the washer is not level, move the washer out slightly and
first prop the front with a wood block and adjust the feet as
necessary. Then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary.
Repeat this step until the washer is level.
