Aligning the washing
machine
Leveling Procedure
1. The appliance should now be in
its final position, ready for leveling
(moving the appliance after
leveling can make it unlevel
again.)
Each foot of the appliance or
pedestal must be placed firmly on
the floor to prevent the washing
machine from wobbling.
Start with all four feet screwed in
as far as possible, then back
individual feet out as necessary to
level the washer.
2. Use the bubble level to level the
washer front to back and side to
side (be sure the level fits between
the edges of the washer, and is
not evelated at one end on a ridge
on the surface of the washer.)
3. Adjust the leveling of the washer
iwith the four height-adjustable
feet. Level the washer as low as
possible to help reduce vibration.
q Loosen the lock nut (1 on the
illustration) by turning it
clockwise. Use the wrench
provided (or a 16 mm open
end wrench). When you turn
the lock nut, the foot (2 on the
illustration) it is locked against
will turn with it. This will extend
the height of the foot.
q Turning the foot out
(clockwise) will raise the corner
of the washer, turning the foot
in (counter-clockwise) will
lower the corner of the washer.
When the corner of the washer
is satisfactorily raised or
lowered, lock the
height-adjustable feet in place
by turning the lock nut
counter-clockwise until it
locks tightly against the
washer housing.
i It may be necessary to hold
the washer foot with a pair of
pliers to keep it from turning
while tightening the lock nut.
It the foot does turn, it will
change the height of the
corner.
q After making preliminary
adjustments, press down on
each corner to make sure the
unit does not wobble. If it
does wobble, lower the foot on
that corner until the foot
touches the floor firmly.
q Press down on each corner of
the unit to make sure the unit
does not wobble. If it does
wobble, lower the foot on that
corner until the foot touches
the floor firmly.
4. Use a bubble level (61 cm or less
in length) to check the leveling
status of the appliance.
q Lay the bubble level across the
unit worktop to check the level
from side to side and from
front to back.
q A center-located bubble
indicates the unit is leveled.
Otherwise, repeat the leveling
procedure until the unit is
leveled. Tip: if the bubble is
closer to one end, it indicates
the high side of the unit. To
level the unit, either lower the
higher side or raise the lower
side.
q After leveling the unit from side
to side, then turn the level so
that it lays on the worktop from
front to back to also check the
level in that direction.
5. Fine tune the leveling by placing a
small load of laundry in the
machine, starting it in spin cycle
and then leveling the washer
again.
i If the test spin cycle is manually
stopped before its completion,
then the door may remain locked
for 10 seconds.
