Whirlpool Washer W10235934A User Manual

Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and 
vibration.
NOTE: Installing washer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets or 
surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
1. Slide the washer to its final location.
2. Check that all four feet are in firm contact with the floor.
3. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the 

top edge of the washer, first side to side then front to back.

If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly 
before tipping back. If the washer is not level, first prop the 
front with a wooden block and adjust the front feet height 
moving the hexagonal plastic part as necessary. Repeat to 
adjust back feet.

4. Make sure all four feet are stable and resting on the floor. Then 

check that the washer is perfectly level (use a level). Repeat 
steps 1-3 until washer is level.

5. After the washer is level, and all four feet are in firm contact 

with the floor, use a

" (14 mm) open-end wrench to turn the 

locknuts on the feet, tightly against the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: All four feet must be tightened. If the locknuts 
are not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may 
vibrate.

6. The washer should not move front to back, side to side, or 

diagonally when pushed on its top edges.

7. Confirm the levelness of the washer.

1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the 

correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding 
method. See “Electrical Requirements.”

2. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, 

go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

3. Check that you have all of your tools.
4. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
5. Check that the water faucets are on.
6. Check for leaks around faucets and inlet hoses.

7. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
8. Read “Washer Use.”
9. To test and to clean your machine, make sure that there are no 

clothes in the washer and add one AFFRESH™ tablet to the 
washer drum. Select POWER, the CLEAN WASHER cycle and 
then select START. This cycle will take approximately 50 
minutes to complete. Allow the washer to complete the entire 
cycle without interruption.
