On appliances with self-leveling feet, pick up the front end of the washer and dryer and then slowly lower it until the feet lock in place, and then repeat this with the back. For older units, those with only self-leveling back feet or if the self-leveling doesn’t seem to be functioning properly, adjust the feet manually, locking them in place with the nut. Check your work, no matter which method, with a level.
