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.

• Prevents loose panels, vibration noise, or parts shifting during operation
• Used when original screw is lost, damaged, or stripped
• Restores proper fit and alignment after disassembly for service

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Use the correct screw type and length; do not force or substitute oversized fasteners
• Tighten until snug—avoid overtightening to prevent stripped threads or cracked parts
• Keep small parts away from children and pets

• Maintains correct axial position so parts don't slide off during use
• Helps reduce wobble, vibration, or rattling caused by loose assemblies
• Typical symptoms: part won't stay seated, excess play or movement, scraping/rattling noises, or a visibly deformed ring

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas if applicable. Wear eye protection and gloves
• Note ring orientation; use appropriate snap-ring/circlip pliers or picks—avoid overstretching
• Clean the groove and seat the ring fully; secure fit
• Replace any damaged spacers, washers, or seals found during service
