Replace Leveling Legs and adjust level
My washer has a pedestal with a drawer below the washer. If yours has this then begin at Step 1, otherwise go to Step 3.

Some of the old legs were badly rusted so I decided to spray them with Liquid Wrench and let them soak before trying to change them straightaway and possibly breaking one off. This meant I needed to get acces s to the legs by removing the drawer from the Pedestal.

Step 1. Remove drawer from Pedestal. Pull drawer out and remove two screws from each side of drawer railing. Drawer will then slide out giving access to the leveling legs.

Step 2. Spray all leveling legs with Liquid Wrench to loosen the rusted legs. Let them sit while doing Step 3.

Step 3. Gather wood blocks, pry bar to lift side of the washer. (Thickness of two 2x4's is needed. More blocks are needed to support the pry bar.

Step 4. Move washer out from wall and get space to work. Do one side and finish changing the legs on that side before switching sides and doing those legs. Use pry bar to lift side of washer and slide blocks underneath.

Step 5. Use 17mm open end wrench, vise grips, or large Channel locks to remove old corroded legs. Use whatever tool works to remove the old legs. Grease and install the new leveling legs making sure their locking nuts are on before installing. Leave enough height on legs to allow for adjustment later.

Step 6. After removing the old legs and installing the new ones you are ready to adjust the legs. I did not have enough space to do this with the washer in its intended place, so I had to do it before walking the washer back to its spot. Using a level, I first leveled the washer from back to front using the legs first changed in Step 5. Once that was done, then I leveled the washer from side to side on the front. I kept working in this way going around all sides of the washer until it was level and then locked the lock nuts on all the legs. I rechecked to make sure the adjustments were correct after locking the legs. After moving the washer into place I rechecked the levels and the stability of the washer by pressing the corners down to see if there was any "give".

Step 7. I cut some small squares of 1/4" rubber sheeting I had lying around to make anti-vibration, anti-walking pads and put them under the legs. This took a while because of the tight access. I had to use a small stick to get the rear legs supported on the pads. Thus far, the homemade pads seem to be working. There was no perceptible movement of the washer after the first wash.
