Check the alignment of the washer with the pedestal.
Make sure the washer base brackets align with the
brackets on the pedestal, then install 4 screws at
each corner to securely attach the appliance to the
pedestal.
NOTE:
If the screws are not installed properly, noise and
vibration may result.
For WASHER: 16 SCREWS
For DRYER: 8 SCREWS

Move the washer to the desired place.
NOTE: The appliance and pedestal assembly must be
placed on a solid and level floor for proper operation.
Adjust the legs of the appliance and pedestal by turning
with a wrench. Then, tighten the lock nut against the
base of the pedestal with the wrench while holding the
leg to make sure it does not turn.
NOTE: Diagonal Check
Once the pedestal feet are adjusted,
rock the washer very firmly in a
diagonal direction. If one direction
moves more than the other, readjust
the front feet until both directions are
even.
NOTE: To make sure that the washer
is properly level, run the washer with a
test load: place approximately 6 pounds of laundry in
the machine. Then press POWER, select RINSE &
SPIN or EXPRESS WASH cycle, and then press the
START/PAUSE button. Verify that the washer does not
rock or vibrate excessively during the spin cycle. If the
washer vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling feet while
the washer is spinning to minimize the vibration.
