One of the most important things about using a washing machine is levelling; making sure that the washing machine is installed on a level, solid floor that is not slippery. If the floor is not level, use the levelling feet to adjust the height of the washing machine. If the washing machine is not levelled properly, there can be excessive noise and vibrations during wash cycles.
However, please be advised that the motor can cause noise during operation - it is normal. Clothing with metal can cause noise when being washed as well, and it is normal (e.g. metal buttons, zipper, etc.). Metal objects can also cause noise, such as coins. After washing, please remove these objects from the drum or filter case.
Checklist before levelling
- Make sure that the shipping bolts are removed (for front load models only)
- Make sure that the washing machine is not contacting any other object.
- Remove any items from your washing machine.
- Allow at least a minimum of 10 cm of free space from the sides and back of the washing machine.
Note:
- Please thoroughly read all of the important warnings and safety instructions written in the user manual.
- Be careful not to injure yourself during any repairs.
These tools may be needed for levelling. (These tools are not provided with the washing machine.)
- Wrench (Spanner): Your unit may come with a spanner (~14mm) for use
- Flat-head screwdriver
- Leveller
Note: The design of the parts and accessories may differ from the pictures above.
- • To raise the height, turn levelling feet counterclockwise.
- • To lower the door, turn levelling feet clockwise.
Note: Excessive force may damage the levelling feet.
See if the washer is level by checking the position of the tub.
Slide the washer into position. Open the lid of the washer and pour the water into the tub to just below the pulsator level.
- If the washing machine is level, the pulsator is positioned at the center of the water.
- If not, level your washing machine by turning the front leveling feet clockwise or counterclockwise, as necessary.
Adjusting the Levelling Feet
Level the washing machine by manually adjusting the levelling feet.
