Frequently Asked Questions - CFPWD15B FRIGIDAIRE

How to install the pedestal under the washing machine?

Follow the instructions in the manual: place the pedestal level, attach the front and rear brackets, then slide the pedestal under the appliance aligning the mounting holes. Tighten the screws after standing the assembly upright.

What is the maximum weight supported by the pedestal drawer?

The closed drawer can support the total weight of the appliance (approx. 65 kg). The open drawer must not exceed 29.5 kg (65 lb) combined with the weight on the pedestal.

Should I remove the plastic or metal feet before installing the pedestal?

If the appliance has plastic feet, screw them so they are level with the base. If they are metal, unscrew them, remove the lock nuts, and reinstall them level, as the lock nuts prevent alignment of the mounting holes.

How to reduce appliance vibrations on the pedestal?

Make sure the pedestal is perfectly level on its four feet and each foot is locked with its lock nut. A slight wobble is normal due to the higher center of gravity.

Is the pedestal compatible with a dryer?

Yes, the pedestal is designed for a washer or dryer. The rear brackets adjust according to the appliance type and side panel style (refer to the manual's table).

What is the warranty of the pedestal?

One-year full warranty on mechanical parts, provided the pedestal is used with a compatible washer or dryer and in accordance with the instructions. Keep your receipt.

Can I use the detergent dispenser drawer to lift the washer?

No, it is strictly forbidden to use the dispenser drawer or its cavity as a support point. This could seriously damage the machine.

How to level the pedestal?

Place the pedestal, adjust each leveling foot so it is plumb front to back and side to side, then rock it from corner to corner to check stability. Tighten the lock nuts.

What tools are needed for installation?

A carpenter's level, a 9/16 in or 14 mm wrench, an adjustable wrench, and optionally a universal wrench (available at the retailer).

Where to find replacement parts for the pedestal?

Warranty parts are available from the supplier where the pedestal was purchased. Consult your washer or dryer user guide for contacts.
