How to Level the Chest and Upright Freezer
How to Level Your Whirlpool Chest Freezer
Does the Freezer Wobble or Seem Unsteady?
The freezer must be leveled if it wobbles when the door is open or closed. Follow the instructions below to resolve your problem.
- Before getting started, check the floor's strength before installing your freezer. It should be able to hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.
- Turn the leveling feet clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the freezer. If necessary, use shims to level it.
- Level the freezer from side to side and front to back so the lid will seal properly.
Location Requirements
Allow at least a 3" (7.5 cm) clearance on both sides of the freezer and 2" (5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.
