STABILIZER ASSEMBLY

The stabilizer assembly consists of the

stabilizer bar assembly, two (2) stabilizer
brackets, two (2) self stabilizing feet, and

two (2) foot pins. It is mounted on the top

rear of the base assembly.

The stabilizer assembly allows the base

assembly to rest solidly and firmly against

the floor, even if the floor is unlevel. The

solidity of the base to the floor keeps the

washer from rocking back and forth or

“walking" during
operation.

As the name implies, the stabilizer only

stabilizes the unit; it does not level it. Any

leveling that is required must be done

with the front adjusting (leveling) legs.

In rare cases where the floor is so uneven

that it is beyond the stabilizing limit of the

assembly (+ or - 5/8"), It may be neces
sary to remove the stabilizer assembly

and install two (2) rear adjustable feet.

Two (2) threaded holes have been pro

vided in the rear corners of the base for
this situation. A kit, part number

12001577 is available.

REMOVAL

1. Disconnect power to the unit.

2. Remove the access panel from the

cabinet rear.

3. Tip or lay washer down, either forward

or on the side. Remove the screws

from the underside of the base that

attaches the stabilizer assembly to the

rear of the base (Figure 4-21).

4. Remove the stabilizer assembly

through the rear access panel.

5. To disassemble the stabilizer assembly

after removal, drive the two (2) foot

pins out of the feet and brackets.

NOTE: in order for the stabilizer assem

bly to operate properly, a thin coating of
grease must be applied over the entire

length of the four (4) pin guides as well
as the foot holes in the bracket (Figure 4-
