20 INSTALLATION
Checking Leveling
To check that the tub is level from front to back,
remove the lower rack and pour 169 oz. (5 L) of
water into the bottom of the tub. The water level
should be near the center of both tub lower
indentations at the front.
With the lower rack removed, place a level on the
inside wall of the tub to check that the dishwasher
is level from side to side.
• If you do not have a level, try using a
smartphone level application instead.
Make sure that the gap between the tub walls and
the door liner is the same on either side.
Adjusting Leveling Feet
Adjust as needed until the dishwasher is
completely leveled.
• Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until they
are all in firm contact with the floor. Failure to
level the dishwasher may prevent the door from
closing properly and the dishwasher will not turn
on.
Adjusting Front Leveling Feet
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the front
leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub.
• Turn the front leveling feet clockwise to raise the
front of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it.
• The adjustments work identically for both front
leveling feet.
• When a flat-blade screwdriver is unavailable, use
a 1/4" square drive wrench
a or 3/8" square
drive wrench
b with 1/2" socket c to turn the
front leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub.
Adjusting Rear Leveling Foot
Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the rear
leveling foot and the rear of the tub using the
center screw at the base of the appliance in the
front.
• Turn the center screw clockwise to raise the rear
of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it.
NOTE
• To avoid damaging the screw, do not use an
electric screwdriver.
