Frequently Asked Questions - EPWD15MB ELECTROLUX

How to install the pedestal under my washer or dryer?

To install the pedestal, start by placing it a few centimeters from its final location. Level it by adjusting the four feet. Attach the front and rear mounting brackets according to your appliance type (washer or dryer). Tilt the pedestal, slide it under the appliance, align the holes and screw the brackets to the base of the appliance. Stand the assembly upright and check the level. For more details, follow the steps in the provided manual.

How to level the pedestal?

Use the four leveling feet located under the pedestal. Turn each foot to adjust the height, then check the level front to back and side to side using a bubble level. Once the pedestal is stable, lock each foot by tightening the lock nut against the base of the pedestal.

What is the maximum weight that can be placed in the drawer?

The total weight in the closed drawer or the combination of weight in and on the open drawer must not exceed 29.5 kg (65 lb). Do not exceed this limit to avoid damaging the drawer or pedestal.

Is this pedestal compatible with all Electrolux washer models?

The EPWD15MB pedestal is designed for Electrolux front-load washers and dryers. Check the dimensions of your appliance and the alignment of the mounting holes. If in doubt, consult the compatibility list on the Electrolux website or contact customer service.

Can I stack a dryer on a washer already installed on a pedestal?

No, it is strongly discouraged to stack a dryer on a washer already installed on a pedestal. The manual states: 'Do not stack a dryer on a washer already installed on a pedestal'. This could cause a risk of tipping or injury.

What is the warranty for the Electrolux EPWD15MB pedestal?

The pedestal is covered by a limited two-year warranty from the date of purchase. During this period, Electrolux will repair or replace parts that are defective in material or workmanship, subject to installation and use in accordance with the instructions.

How to clean the pedestal?

Clean the pedestal with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products, solvents, or harsh cleaners that could damage the finish. Then wipe with a dry cloth to avoid streaks.

How to lock the leveling feet?

After adjusting the height of each foot, lock it by firmly tightening the lock nut against the base of the pedestal, without turning the rubber foot. This prevents the feet from unscrewing during use.

How to identify the position of the rear brackets for my washer or dryer?

Each rear bracket has tabs marked 'A' and 'B', and slots on the back of the pedestal marked '1', '2', and '3'. For a dryer, insert tab A into slot 1 with the arrow pointing to the rear. For a washer, insert tab A into slot 1 with the arrow pointing to the front. Refer to the table in the manual for confirmation.

What tools are needed for installation?

Installation requires a screwdriver (not supplied) to screw the mounting brackets. It is also recommended to have a bubble level to check levelness. Prepare a cardboard sheet to protect the floor when tilting the appliance.
