LEVELING THE WASHER

The drum of your new washer spins at very high
speeds, up to 1,400 RPM. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must
be a perfectly 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.

Feet

Position the washer in the final location,
taking special care to not pinch, strain, or
crush the water and drain lines. Place a level
across the top of the washer.
Raise
Loosen the locknuts on all 4 leveling feet

until you can turn the feet with the included
wrench. Turn clockwise to raise the washer
or counterclockwise to lower it.
• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the
floor. Rock the washer gently from corner to
corner to make sure that the washer does
not rock.
If you are installing the washer on the optional
pedestal, you must use the leveling feet on
the pedestal to level the washer. The washer's
leveling feet should be fully retracted and locked
into position with the locknuts.
Once the washer is level from side to side and
3
front to back, tighten all locknuts securely.
Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm

contact with the floor.

NOTE: To make sure that the washer is
properly level, run the washer with a test load:
place approximately 6 pounds of laundry
in the machine. Then press POWER, select
RINSE+SPIN cycle, and then press the START/
PAUSE button. See the following sections for
additional information on cycle selection and
operation.
Verify that the washer does not rock or vibrate
excessively during the spin cycle.
If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust
the leveling feet until the washer is stable and
retest.
INSTALLATION OF NON-SkID
PADS (OPTIONAL)
Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent
the washer from moving on the floor during
heavily unbalanced loads. While it is normal for
an occasional load to be out of balance, excess
noise and vibration can result from the washer
moving out of position. If these conditions are
encountered, follow the instructions below for
installation of the non-skid pads. These pads
will help prevent the washer from moving during
heavy out of balance conditions thereby reducing
noise and vibration.
