The washing machine is not aligned correctly.

The washing machine must stand perfectly level on all 4 feet to ensure safe and proper operation.

The 4 adjustable screw feet are used to level the washing machine. All of the feet are screwed in when the machine is delivered.

  • Using the wrench supplied, turn the counter nut (2) in a clockwise direction.

  • Then turn the counter nut (2) together with the foot (1) to unscrew.

  • Use a level to check that the washing machine is level.

  • Hold the foot (1) securely with a pipe wrench.

  • If the counter nuts are not screwed tightly against the housing, the washing machine may move around during operation.

    Turn all 4 counter nuts until they sit firmly up against the housing, including the ones for the feet that have not been unscrewed.

  • Turn the counter nut (2) again using the wrench supplied until it sits firmly up against the housing.
