Fortunately, it is relatively easy to level a washing machine, and this simple fix can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
To level your LG washing machine, start by placing a level on top of the washer. If the level shows that the washing machine is not level, locate the adjustable legs on the bottom of the washer. Use a wrench to turn each leg until the washing machine is level. Once the LG washing machine is level, retest it with the level to be sure that it is truly level.
8. How to troubleshoot a washing machine that is not level
If your washing machine is not level, it can cause a variety of problems. The most common problem is that the washing machine will vibrate excessively and may even walk across the floor. This can cause damage to the washer and to the floor around it. It can also cause clothes to come out of the washing machine wetter than they should be.
To fix this problem, you will need to adjust the legs on your washing machine. Most washing machines have four legs, and each leg has a different length. You will need to adjust the legs so that they are all the same length.
To do this, start by finding a level surface on which to place your washing machine. Then, adjust each leg so that it is touching the ground evenly. If one of the legs is too long, you can shorten it by turning it clockwise. If one of the legs is too short, you can lengthen it by turning it counterclockwise.
Once all four legs are touching the ground evenly, run a test load of laundry through your washing machine to make sure that it is level. If it still vibrates excessively, you may need to adjust the legs again or add weight to the base of the machine to keep it from walking across the floor.
