A leveling system for household appliances comprises appliance feet which
are arranged at the underside of the household appliance and which are
adjustable in height at least partly by an actuation member and therefore
make it possible to adjust the height of the household appliance and/or
to adapt to unevenness in floors. According to the invention, the
actuation member is a traction element and the appliance feet which are
adjustable in height by the traction element have, in each instance, a
cylindrical housing which is fastened to the underside of the household
appliance and in which there is arranged a piston which carries the
appliance foot plate, and the piston has a receptacle for the
height-adjustable arrangement of the shaft of an appliance foot plate.
