Leveling a washing machine is crucial to ensure proper operation, reduce noise and vibration, and extend its lifespan. An unbalanced washer can cause excessive wear and tear on its components, leading to costly repairs or premature failure.
To level a washer, you will need a level and a wrench or pliers. First, place the level on top of the washer and adjust the leveling legs until the bubble is centered in the level. Next, tighten the locknuts on the leveling legs to secure them in place. Finally, run the washer through a spin cycle to check if it is still level. If not, repeat the leveling process until the washer is stable and does not vibrate excessively.
