Setup and Installation

The DD81-02219A leveling leg is intended for replacement of an existing damaged or missing leg. Proper installation ensures the dishwasher is stable and operates quietly.

Before You Begin:

• Safety First: Always disconnect power to the dishwasher before attempting any installation or repair. Turn off the circuit breaker for the dishwasher.
• Water Supply: Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.
• Tools Required: You may need a wrench or pliers to adjust or remove the old leg, and potentially a flashlight for better visibility.

Installation Steps:

1. Access the Leg: Carefully tilt the dishwasher backward or forward to access the leveling legs at the bottom. You may need assistance to safely tilt the appliance.
2. Remove Old Leg (if applicable): If replacing an existing leg, unscrew the old leg by turning it counter-clockwise until it detaches from the dishwasher frame.
3. Install New Leg: Align the threaded end of the new DD81-02219A leveling leg with the corresponding threaded hole on the dishwasher frame.
4. Thread the Leg: Turn the new leg clockwise to thread it into place. Ensure it is securely seated.
5. Initial Adjustment: Hand-tighten the leg until it makes contact with the floor. Do not overtighten.
6. Level the Dishwasher: Once all legs are installed, carefully return the dishwasher to its upright position. Adjust each leveling leg by turning it clockwise to raise the corner or counter-clockwise to lower it. Use a spirit level to ensure the dishwasher is perfectly level from front to back and side to side.
7. Secure the Dishwasher: Once level, ensure all legs are firmly in contact with the floor and the dishwasher is stable.
8. Reconnect Utilities: Reconnect the water supply and restore power to the dishwasher.

Operation

The DD81-02219A Dishwasher Leveling Leg functions passively by providing stable support and allowing for height adjustment. Once installed and properly adjusted, it ensures the dishwasher remains level during operation, which is critical for proper drainage, door alignment, and reduced vibration and noise.

No active operation is required from the user after initial setup. The leg maintains the dishwasher's level position.

Maintenance

The DD81-02219A leveling leg requires minimal maintenance. Periodically, it is advisable to:

• Check Stability: Gently push on the dishwasher from different angles to ensure it remains stable and does not wobble.
• Inspect for Damage: Visually inspect the leveling legs for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage.
• Re-level if Necessary: If the dishwasher appears to be uneven or vibrating excessively, re-check its level using a spirit level and adjust the legs as needed following the "Setup and Installation" guidelines.

Clean any debris or dust that may accumulate around the legs to prevent interference with their function.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues related to the dishwasher's stability or leveling, consider the following:

Dishwasher is Wobbling or Uneven:

• Check Leg Adjustment: Ensure all leveling legs are properly extended and making firm contact with the floor. Re-adjust any loose legs.
• Floor Surface: Verify that the floor beneath the dishwasher is even. Significant unevenness may require shims in addition to leg adjustment.
• Damaged Leg: Inspect the DD81-02219A leveling leg for any physical damage. If the leg is bent, cracked, or the threads are stripped, it may need to be replaced.

Dishwasher Door Does Not Close Properly:

• Leveling Issue: An unlevel dishwasher can cause door misalignment. Re-level the dishwasher carefully.

If problems persist after checking and adjusting the leveling leg, consult your dishwasher's main user manual or a qualified technician.
