Leveling Leg Locking Nut 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.
