Prior to shipping, we secure the
washer drum with four shipping bolts
in the rear of the washer. This helps
keep the drum from shifting and
moving while the washer is en route
to your home.
IMPORTANT: It is critical that your
delivery/installation team only remove
these bolts when the washer is within
3 feet of its final installed location
in order to prevent damage to the
product. If you remove the shipping
bolts yourself, discard after use.
Because Whirlpool Corporation
does not control installation, we
recommend you inspect the product
before it’s removed from the delivery
truck to ensure the bolts are still in
place. If the bolts are not in place,
you may refuse delivery of the
product and request a new one. If
using the optional pedestals, the
transport bolts should remain in place
until the pedestal is installed.
The optional pedestals are a great place
to store detergent boxes along with
fabric softener and bleach bottles. If
you’ve selected pedestals, the delivery
team must remove and discard the
installation feet from the bottom of the
washer and dryer prior to attaching
them. The pedestals come with their
own adjustable feet for proper leveling
of the laundry pair.
Even if you are not completing installation yourself, it’s good to familiarize
yourself with these important steps to ensure proper set-up.
