Check the alignment of the washer with the pedestal.

brackets on the pedestal, then install 4 screws at
each corner to securely attach the appliance to the
pedestal.
NOTE: If the screws are not installed properly, noise
and vibration may result.

Move the washer to the desired place.
NOTE: The appliance and pedestal assembly must be
placed on a solid and level floor for proper operation.
Adjust the legs of the appliance and pedestal by turning
with a wrench. Then, tighten the lock nut against the
base of the pedestal with the wrench while holding the
leg to make sure it does not turn.

NOTE: Diagonal Check
Once the pedestal feet are adjusted,
rock the washer very firmly in a
diagonal direction. If one direction
moves more than the other, readjust
the front feet until both directions are
even.
NOTE: To make sure that the washer
is properly level, run the washer with a
test load: place approximately 6 pounds (3 kg) of
laundry in the machine. Then press POWER, select
RINSE & SPIN or EXPRESS WASH cycle, and then
press the START/PAUSE button. 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 to minimize
the vibration.
