Whirlpool 8281198 Leveler Feet Oem Replacement

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 8281198 is an OEM leveler foot designed to keep washing machines and dryers sitting level and stable on the floor. Leveler feet thread into the base corners of the appliance and adjust vertically to compensate for uneven flooring. Proper leveling reduces vibration, prevents cabinet walking, and protects internal components from stress caused by an off-balance drum or tub. This part is manufactured to original equipment specifications and is the correct replacement when a factory foot is cracked, missing, or no longer holds adjustment. Installation is performed by appliance service technicians or experienced DIYers.

Leveler feet are a common service item on residential laundry appliances. They are typically replaced when the original foot breaks, strips its threads, or is lost during a move. The 8281198 fits base-mount applications where the foot threads directly into the appliance frame and is adjusted by turning the foot up or down to the correct height before locking it in place with the jam nut or locking tab where applicable.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Unplug the appliance from electrical power before tipping or moving it to access the base feet. A adjustable wrench or pliers may be needed to thread the foot in or out of the base mount. After setting all feet to the correct height, use a level placed on top of the appliance cabinet to verify it is plumb in both directions before returning the unit to service.
