Leveling the Washer
Excessive vibration will occur if the washer is
not leveled. This will also trip the unbalance
switch and stop the washer. Check to
ensure the washer is level. With the door
open, the spin basket should be centered in
the opening as shown in the "leveled" view.
If the spin basket is not in the center or
"unleveled" as shown at far right, level the
washer as follows:
Note: Be careful not to kick or step on the
leveling locks.
•
Pull out the leveling locks located at the
bottom front of the left and right sides of
the washer. This releases the spring
loaded leveling feet.
• The washer will attempt to automatically
level itself.
•
Check level at body panel line and adjust
as necessary.
•
Push leveling locks back in.
•
Manually level the rear feet (side to side).
Precautions
This automatic washing machine is very
complicated in structure. The user may call
for service even though the machine has no
problem. The following precautions are
summarized to aid in proper troubleshooting
and current best practices for repair:
1. Do not permit the user to repair or
replace any part of the appliance or
perform any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the owner's manual.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the
machine before repairing the machine.
3. Inspect power cord for damage.
4. Check the electrical power outlet for
proper rating.
5. Check the level by noting if the spin
basket is centered in the door opening.
6. When reassembling plastic, turn the
screw to the left to seat in existing thread
before turning screw to the right. This
prevents stripping of threads.
