Summary:A wheeled leveling device is provided that includes a cabinet bracket, a wheel assembly, and an adjustment screw. The cabinet bracket includes a pair of slots that include detent portions. The wheel assembly includes a roller rotatably secured to a wheel assembly bracket. A pair of rockers secured to the wheel assembly bracket slide into and engage with the slots of the cabinet bracket. The rockers pivot about the detent portions of the slots such that the wheel assembly does not disengage. The adjustment screw passes through a hole in the cabinet bracket and a hole in the wheel assembly bracket and engages with a threaded fastener secured to the wheel assembly bracket. Turning the adjustment screw causes the wheel assembly to pivot about the detent portions of the slots of the cabinet bracket, thereby raising or lowering the roller and hence altering the height of the appliance.
