User Suggested Solutions

  1. Check the floor surface where the dishwasher is installed. Ensure it is level by using a carpenter's level. If the floor is uneven, consider adding shims under the dishwasher feet to stabilize it.

  2. Inspect the leveling feet. If they are damaged or not functioning properly, replace them. To adjust, turn the central foot clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the dishwasher until it is level.

  3. Review the installation manual and ensure that the dishwasher is installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines. If adjustments are needed, follow the instructions to properly level the appliance.
