Move the washer to its final location. Rock the washer back and forth to check whether all four feet are stable and in firm contact with the floor. If the washer rocks, your model may be one that comes with 3 feet preset at the factory. It will be necessary to adjust the right front foot to level the washer. If all 4 feet were preset at the factory, minor adjustments may be needed to level the washer on your floor. 2. Adjust front leveling foot For washers with an adjustable right front foot, lower the right front foot until it contacts the floor. Using pliers, rotate the foot up to an additional 1 1/2 turns. 7
