The Leveling Leg is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It's designed to ensure your range is perfectly balanced and stable on uneven floors. By adjusting the height of the leveling legs, you can prevent wobbling and ensure that your cooking surface is perfectly horizontal, which is critical for even cooking and baking.

Causes of a malfunctioning Leveling Leg can stem from physical impact damage, corrosion in humid conditions affecting integrity and adjustability, and wear over time, particularly if frequently adjusted or cleaned aggressively.

Symptoms of a bad Leveling Leg include:

• The range tilts or wobbles, making cooking uneven.
• Difficulty sliding pots and pans across the cooking surface due to the appliance not being level.
• Increased strain on other components of the range, which could lead to premature wear or failure.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

• Clean the groove and seat the ring fully; secure fit
• Replace any damaged spacers, washers, or seals found during service
