Leveling the Washer
The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds.
To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted
movement, the floor 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.
• Before installing the washer, make sure that the
floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and
oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet
that move or slide on the floor can contribute
to excessive vibration and noise due to poor
contact with the floor.
1
Position the washer in its final location.
• Take special care not to pinch, strain, or
crush the water and drain lines. If you have
a carpenter’s level, you can use it to check
that the washer level. The slope beneath the
washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all four
leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.

Open the lid (door) and look from above to see
if the tub is centered.
• If the tub is NOT centered, readjust the front
feet. If you have a level, check the washer
with the level.
NOTE
• To check if the washer is level from side to side,
place a level on the back edge of the lid (door).
• To check if the washer is level from 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 of the lid (door).
Using these surfaces will result in the washer
being unlevel.

Adjust the lower leveling feet.
• Turn in one direction to raise the washer or
the other direction to lower it.
Raise Lower
4
Recheck the washer’s levelness.
• Push or rock the top edges of the washer
gently to make sure the washer does not rock.
If the washer rocks, repeat steps 1-3.
CAUTION
• Using the washer without leveling it may
cause excess vibration and noise, leading to a
machine malfunction.
• Extend the leveling feet only to level the
washer. If you extend the leveling feet
unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal
vibration of the washer.
NOTE
• If the washer is not level, the lid (door) may not
stay open properly. If this happens, extend the
front leveling legs until the washer is level from
front to back.
