LEVELING
Leveling Stacked Washer/Dryer
Leveling your washer/dryer properly reduces excess noise and
vibration.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer/dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Remove cardboard from beneath washer/dryer. Place a level on
top edges of washer/dryer, checking each side and front. If not
level, tip washer/dryer and adjust feet up or down as shown in
Steps 3 and 4, repeating as necessary.
3. If washer/dryer is not level, use a 14 mm or 9/16" open-
end or adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise (as
viewed from above) on feet until they are about 13 mm (1/2")
from the washer/dryer cabinet. Then turn the leveling foot
counterclockwise to lower the washer/dryer or clockwise to raise
the washer/dryer. Recheck levelness of washer/dryer and that all
four feet are firmly in contact with the floor. Repeat as needed.
HELPFUL TiP: You may want to prop up front of washer/dryer
about 102 mm (4") with a wood block or similar object that will
support weight of washer/dryer.

HELPFUL TiP: You may want to prop washer/dryer with wooden
block.

Step 4.
