Leveling Leg Locking Nut – Part Number: WP3359452
$7.47
In Stock
Leveling Leg Locking Nut
Part #WP3359452
The leveling leg locking nut is an OEM replacement fastener for use in dryers and washers. It has a head diameter of 3/8 inches and a thread pitch of 16 threads per inch. The nut secures the leveling legs which helps to stabilize and level the appliances when they are placed on uneven surfaces. The nut ensures that the leg is stable and does not move during operation. Over time, the threads on the nut may become stripped, or the nut can corrode and break rendering it unable to secure the leveling legs. A faulty nut will cause the appliance to shake and vibrate excessively, and potentially damage the floor and its internal components. It is recommended to replace both the leveling leg and nut at the same time. Use a wrench or pliers to loosen and remove the old locking nut from the leveling leg. Thread the new nut on to the leveling leg and ensure that it is tightened securely. Be careful not to overtighten and damage the threads. Gently shake the appliance to ensure that it is stable and level. Each nut is sold individually.

Door locked because of faulty water level switch
28 of 34 people found this instruction helpful.
  • George from ORO VALLEY, AZ
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver
First some background. The door locked up the first time when appliance was less than one year old. The "Maytag Repairman" finally succeeded in getting the door open after propping up the front of the machine and fumbling around underneath for a period of time and then assured me the problem was solved. The problem recurred less than a year later, and I called another repairman who seemed to have an easier time of it, and charged $293.42 to replace the water level switch. About six months later the same problem recurred and I took the cover off the top of the machine and found there a booklet "For Service Technician's Use Only". VERY HELPFUL. Told how extremely easy it was to unlock door - took about five seconds. Replacing the switch itself involved pulling one tubing off and disconnecting one elec connection from old switch and replacing on new switch. Total cost $50 plus a few dollars for shipping.

One of the hinges broke, making the door sag
21 of 30 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Sandy from MILWAUKIE, OR
  • Easy
  • 1- 2 hours
Using the Torx Screwdriver, we removed the door from the unit. Then we removed all of the screws on the inside of the washer door. After that we flipped it over and opened it up exposing the inside. We couldn't separate them entirely because there was a screw under the latch piece that we couldn't figure out how to get to. However with a ll the screws out on the inside of the door, we did have enough room to open it up and access the place cover that holds the hinges in. Once we accessed that we removed the roller tips from the old unit and placed them on the new one. Then we reversed the process. With a couple screws in we realized we had put the hinge in reversed from what it needed to be, so we reopened it and switched it around. Then completed replacing all the screws and reattached it to the washer. It opens and closes perfectly and we saved a couple hundred dollars for sure, as the quote to come out had been a $150 trip charge.
