• The floor must be strong and rigid enough to support the
weight of the washer, when fully loaded, without flexing
or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex,
you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid
A floor that is adequate for a topdoading washer may not
be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to the
difference in the spin speed and direction if the floor is
not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and
feel the vibration throughout your house.
• Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean
dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer
feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or
s]ide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and
noise due to poor contact with the floor
• If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow the
instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure
the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact
with the pan Use of drip pans and failure to properly
level the machine may result in increased vibration and
noise during operation
