Dryer - Leveling

It is important to level your dryer. Leveling the dryer prevents the dryer from vibrating when in use. The two anti-tip legs at the front inner corners of a Top Load style dryer need to be touching the floor to avoid a tip over. All of the dryer legs are adjustable about 1 inch.

 

To level the dryer:

1. Place a level on top of the dryer pointing side to side.

2. Adjust the leveling legs until the dryer is level.

3. Place the level on top of the dryer pointing front to back.

4. Adjust the leveling legs again, if necessary, to level.

 

When leveling a gas or electric Top Load style dryer, adjust the two anti-tip legs at the front inner corners, taking care that they are touching the floor to avoid a tip over.

 

Note: Some older model gas dryers had the six legs for leveling. The extra two legs served as an anti-tip device.
