There are four leveling legs located on the base
rails of the dishwasher.
To access the leveling legs, remove the toe
kick and insulation (on some models). To raise
the dishwasher, turn the level legs counter-
clockwise. Turning the legs clockwise will lower
the dishwasher.
If a level leg will not keep the dishwasher
level because the support rail is stripped, the
dishwasher may be repaired by using two 1/2-
inch hex-head nuts with 1/4-inch -20 thread size
as jam nuts (
Part #
: WR01X10044), one below
the rail, the other above the rail.
Place one nut on the leg and install the new leg
onto the dishwasher damaged frame. Use the
bottom nut to level the dishwasher. When it is
secure the leg to the base rail or frame.
The door balance system is comprised of springs,
cables, rollers and hinge arm.
The spring is adjustable as it attaches to the rear
of the vertical leg base assembly. There are four
holes in the leg. Higher connection on the rear
frame on the leg causes more tension on the
spring. The spring connects to a cable which
connects to the hinge arm using a roller as a
tensioner.
