The drum of your new 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.
NOTE: Before installing the washer, make

sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of  

dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet  

cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that  

move or slide on the floor can contribute  

to excess vibration and noise due to 

poor contact with the floor. See 

INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS 

for more information.
NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, make sure to follow the 

instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the 

leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with 

the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the 

machine may result in increased vibration and noise  

during operation.
All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Rock 

the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all 

four leveling feet are in firm and even contact with the floor.

3. Once the washer is level from side to side and front to

    back, use the adjusting wrench to tighten all four lock 

    nuts securely to prevent the legs from getting out of

    adjustment during operation. Make sure that all four  

    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 a medium-sized load 

of laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER, select

RINSE & SPIN, and 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, while 

the washer is spinning, until the vibrations are reduced.

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.
NOTE: The non-skid pads are included in the installation 

packet 

1. Position the washer in its final location, taking special 

   care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain 

   lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.

2. Loosen the locknuts on all four leveling feet with 

the wrench until you can adjust the feet (wrench 

appearance may vary). Use the wrench to turn the feet 

clockwise to raise the washer, and counterclockwise 

to lower the washer. Using a level, adjust the feet until 

the washer is level from side to side and front to back. 

Make sure that all four feet are in firm contact with the 

floor.

NOTE: If you are installing the washer on the optional 

pedestal, the washer leveling feet should be fully retracted. 

Use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the washer.

Tighten all 4 lock nuts

securely using the

wrench.
