Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise and
vibration.
1. 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.
If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly
before tipping back. If the washer is not level, first prop the
front with a wood block (2" x 4") (5.8 x 10.2 cm) and adjust
the feet as necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as
necessary. Repeat this step until washer is level.
After the washer is level, use a 17 mm open-end wrench to
turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer cabinet.
All 4 feet must be tightened. If the nuts are not tight against
the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
3. Slide the washer to its final location,
4. Confirm the levelness of the washer.
To prevent drain water from gotng back into the washer:
• Do not straighten the drain hose, and do not force excess
drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose
enough to provide a gap for air.
• Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
