INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LEVELING THE WASHER
The tub of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To
minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the
fl
oor must be a level, solid surface.
NOTE:
Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the washer. Extending the
leveling feet more than necessary can
cause the washer to vibrate.
NOTE:
Before installing the washer,
make sure that the
fl
oor is clean, dry
and free of dust, dirt, water and oils
so the washer feet cannot slide easily.
Leveling feet that move or slide on
the
fl
oor can contribute to excess
vibration and noise due to poor contact with the
fl
oor.
All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the
fl
oor.
Attempt to rock the washer from corner to corner to
make sure that all four leveling feet are in
fi
rm contact
with the
fl
oor.
3.
To make sure that the washer is properly level, open
the lid and look from above to see if the tub is
centered. If the tub is NOT centered (as shown in the
drawing on the right), readjust the feet. If you have a
level, check your washer with the level.
1.
Position the washer in its
fi
nal location, taking special
care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain
lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.
2.
Adjust the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise the
washer or counterclockwise to lower it.

• To check if the washer is level from side to side, place
a level on the back edge of the lid.
• To check if the washer is level front to back, place a
level at the side of the washer on the edge where the
cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place the level
on the top or the lid. Using these surfaces will result in
the washer being unlevel.
