To keep your washing machine level, you'll need to adjust its legs using a level and a wrench.
Here's a step-by-step guide, based on the provided video reference, on how to achieve a level washing machine:
Leveling Your Washing Machine: Step-by-Step
-
Gather Your Tools: Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary tools:
- A pair of gloves to protect your hands.
- A level to check for levelness.
- A wrench to adjust the legs of the washing machine.
-
Prepare the Washing Machine:
- Ensure the washing machine is in its final location. This is crucial because moving it after leveling can throw off the adjustments.
- Put on your gloves to keep your hands clean and protected.
-
Initial Level Check:
- Place the level on the top right-hand side of the washing machine. This will be your initial reference point.
- Observe the bubble in the level to determine if the machine is level. If the bubble is centered, your machine is already level!
-
Adjust the Legs:
- If the bubble in the level is not centered, you will need to adjust the legs.
- Locate the adjustable legs under your washing machine.
- Use the wrench to adjust the height of the legs. Turn them clockwise to raise the machine and counter-clockwise to lower it.
- Make small adjustments and recheck the level each time. Continue making adjustments until the bubble is centered, indicating that the machine is level.
-
Check at Multiple Points:
- After leveling the machine at the top right side, check the level at other points (e.g., the top left and front). This ensures that the entire machine is stable and level.
- Adjust the legs accordingly until level at all checked points.
-
Final Check and Fine-Tuning:
- Once you believe your washing machine is level, give it a gentle push to see if it wobbles. If it wobbles, repeat the leveling process.
- When you’re satisfied that it's stable, make a final check on each of the corners with the level.
By following these steps, you can effectively level your washing machine, which is vital for quiet and efficient operation, as shown in the reference video.
