How to level the unit if washing machine is unbalanced

• Leveling the washing machine is critical for proper operation

• A tilted Washing Machine can cause many problems including vibrations, noise and detergent drawer residue

The easiest way to begin the leveling process is as follows: 

• Loose the jam nuts 
• Screw the washer legs all the way up in the washing machine chassis

• Slide the Washing Machine into position 
• Try rocking the Washing Machine back and forth, and left to right. If the Washing Machine rocks, unscrew the appropriate leg until the leg makes contact with the floor

• Place a torpedo level on the top of the Washing Machine. It does not matter whether you rock the product back to forth first, or left to right first. 

• Level the Washing Machine by turning the leveling legs in or out as necessary. When it is leveled, tighten the jamb nuts

• If the Washing Machine is installed on a carpet or other soft floors, place rubber cups under the adjustable leg 
• Before placing the rubber cups, remove the double-sided tapes from the film 
• If the Washing Machine is on the pedestal, the rubber cup should be placed underneath the pedestal's legs

• If a pedestal is used, place the pedestal in the location where the Washing Machine will be installed 
• Level the pedestal by using the same procedure as that of the Washing Machine/Dryer 
• Attach the pedestal to the Washing Machine, and move the pedestal/washer assembly to the desired location 
• Once the Washing Machine and pedestal are in the desired location, re-check the leveling 
• If necessary, re-level the pedestal/washer assembly in its desired location

Note the position of the air bubble on the level. A properly leveled surface looks like this:

Once the Washing Machine is leveled on all sides, place a few pieces of clothing into the Washing Machine and run a spin only cycle to check for excessive vibrations.
