ABSTRACT:
A retractable self-leveling assembly for supporting a laundry appliance such as an automatic washer is connected at a rear base portion of the appliance. The assembly has two spaced apart upwardly and outwardly angled slots therein for slidably receiving pins which connect supporting feet to opposite ends of an adjustable tension bar generally at right angles thereto. In a deployed position, the feet extend below the laundry appliance and the weight of the appliance on the feet and tension bar combination causes the pins to slide in the slots to automatically position the feet to compensate for any unevenness in the surface on which the appliance rests. The tension bar may be manually extended to retract the feet into the appliance cabinet during storage or transport of the appliance.
