I need to know the procedure for the rear leveling device in the rear of the washer. The one on my washer doen't not lock into position. I've been told these are supposed to lock. Is this correct?

Answer Hello Sam. The ratcheting device that the rear legs are mounted on does not lock. When the weight of the machine is lifted off of it, it defaults to center position. Then when the units' weight is set down onto it, the device automatically sets to equalize the units weight to each of the four feet so it cannot rock. It will never lock but if you tilt the unit up onto the front feet and you don't hear the mechanism "click", it may need to be lubriacated. I would recommend a spray lubricant such as TJLPS2. Have a great day!
Are the Pt. #AP3120822 leveling mechanism spring part of the back feet adjusting/locking mechanism on the machine, and does it require two?

Answer Jeff, the leveling spring 8316845 connects the two links 63466 together that the feet 33001800 slide into on the machine. Your unit uses one leveling spring. Thanks!
