Is it not level?

➔ Level the machine so that it does not lean to one side.

Leveling method
1. Make sure that installation is made on a hard, flat surface without dirt or water beneath the machine.
2. Ensure that the tub is situated in the center of its cavity and not leaning to one side by adjusting the height adjusters.
(Do not overly loosen the screws - turn them less than 4 inches or 10cm.)

If 4 inches (10cm) or more adjustment is required, purchase a height adjusting plate (fixing plate).
※ Use of paper or wood may cause rocking or noises.
3. Tighten the height adjusting screws so that no rocking is possible when you push down on the washing machine corners diagonally.
