USE OF WASHER TRAYS

W10854698A

01/16

IMPORTANT:

When using a washer tray underneath your

washer (see Figure 1), it is important to adjust

the leveling feet out enough so that any moving

parts on the bottom of the washer do not touch

the tray.

Begin by turning the leveling feet out

(counterclockwise rotation) two complete turns

(720 degrees) and then follow the INSPECTION

PROCEDURE below to verify that this

is sufficient.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE:

Verify that the washer is level. To confirm that

the clearance is adequate for large loads, it is

suggested to run the Bulky/Sheets, Bedding,

or Bulky/Bedding cycle (depending on model)

to fill the tub with water. When full of water, the

tub will drop lower in the washer cabinet. Once

tub fill is complete, press the START/PAUSE

button to pause the cycle. When the lid unlocks,

you will be able to open it. This will allow you to

rock the tub side-to-side by pushing against the

plastic tub top visible just beneath the top of the

washer (see Figure 2).

Listen for any indication of the washer rubbing

on the tray. If you hear any rubbing sound,

you will need to drain the tub of water (press

the POWER button to drain the tub and turn

off the washer). Once the tub is drained,

you will need to adjust the leveling feet out

more (counterclockwise rotation) until there

is sufficient clearance when the tub is full of

water. Repeat the procedure above to fill the

tub with water, pause the washer, open the lid,

and again rock the tub side-to-side to listen

for any indication of the washer rubbing on

the tray. When no rubbing sound is heard, the

leveling feet are adjusted out sufficiently. When

the leveling foot adjustment check is complete,

drain the water from the tub and turn off the

washer by pressing the POWER button.
