What size is the wrench for LG washer feet?
When I moved and had to re-level the machine, I found there wasn’t enough clearance under the pedestal base to use a standard tool wrench. This item did the trick. It’s the right size for the nut (17mm), and it’s thin enough to use in the tightest of spaces.
How do I level my LG Tromm washer?

Can you adjust the feet on a washing machine?
Washing machines have adjustable, front-leveling legs with a lock nut.

How do I stop my fridge from rolling?
Since the wheels or rollers do not lock in place, it may help to place a piece of wood, a small wood wedge or plastic furniture coaster (with felt on the bottom) under the wheels or rollers to prevent rolling. We recommend re-leveling the refrigerator after doing this, if necessary.
