Door Fits and Swings Back Behind Cabinet Frame Correct Alignment If your model has a rear leveling system, the rear height is adjusted from the front of the dishwasher along with the 2 front legs on the bottom of the dishwasher. Begin the leveling process with the front legs by individually turning the front 2 legs. Adjust the front legs first. When the front legs are adjusted to a height resulting in an appropriate gap to the upper cabinet, proceed to adjust the rear leveling system by adjusting the leveling bolt as illustrated in the figure. Turn the bolt to adjust the rear leveling system. Slowly rotate the bolt clockwise to raise the back of the dishwasher, and counterclockwise to lower it. Continue to adjust the feet until the dishwasher is level as illustrated in the figure. Ensure all 3 legs are firmly in contact with the floor.

The dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to back. This ensures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own, circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will close without hitting the side of the tub. • The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is centered left to right and front to back. Also, the dishwasher door should close without hitting the side of the tub. • Replace the lower rack. Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify dishwasher is leveled. Pull the dish racks half way out. They should stay put. Open and close the door. The door should fit in the tub opening without hitting the side of the tub. If the racks roll on their own, or the door hits the side of tub, re-level the dishwasher. 10
