If washer/dryer is level, skip to step 3 (27" models) or step 4 (24" models).

If washer/dryer is not level, prop up front of washer/dryer about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will support weight of washer/dryer. On 27" models, use a 9/16" or 14 mm open-end or adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise on feet until they are about 1/2" (13 mm) from the washer/dryer cabinet. Then turn the leveling foot clockwise to lower the washer/dryer or counterclockwise to raise the washer/dryer. On 24" models, adjust the feet up or down as necessary. On all models, remove wood block and lower washer/dryer. Recheck levelness of washer/dryer and repeat as needed. 22
