LG Front Load Washer Training - Pedestal

PEDESTAL (NEW STYLE)

This procedure covers installing and leveling the 7½” and 13” pedestals for 27” washers, dryers, and combos. If the products are stacked, the washer must be below the dryer, and only one pedestal is required. This will place the dryer controls approximately 6½ feet above the floor, making it difficult to see the display or operate the controls.

For 27” Pedestals (Washer, Dryer, and Combo) Remove the pedestal, installation hardware, and instructions from the shipping container. (The style may vary among models.)

The pedestal kit includes:     1 drawer divider     1 wrench     4 retainers (dryer only)     18 screws (8 for dryer)

Level the pedestal on a solid, flat, level floor. Lock down the rear adjusters, but leave the front ones free for now.

Prepare the dryer for mounting. Retract all four feet and lock down all four adjusters on the dryer. Note which holes are for the washer and which are for the dryer. If you are stacking the appliances, the washer MUST be on the bottom.

Insert the T-clip of the four retainers into the washer base, as shown. Press up on the back of the clip and pull outward to lock it into place.

Set the washer on the pedestal. (The washer feet fit into the outermost holes in the mounting brackets.)

Make sure the screws on the pedestal align with the holes in the retainers. Attach two screws in each retainer to attach the washer to the pedestal. Tighten them without stripping them; the brackets are plastic. If the screws are not tightened correctly, noise and vibration will result.

Turn each leg on the washer ½ turn down to put a little tension between the washer and pedestal to eliminate vibration. Push the washer and pedestal into their place. Then level the washer by adjusting the front leg(s). When it is level, lock down the adjuster lock nuts.
