1. A leveling leg and wheel assembly for an appliance, comprising: a first member comprising a first end attachable to the appliance, and a second end opposite to the first end;a second member, one of the first member and the second member being slidably disposed in the other of the first member and the second member;a roller fixedly disposed relative to the first member, extending downward beyond the second end of the first member, and disposed within the second member,a threaded sleeve fixedly disposed relative to the first member; anda leveling leg comprising an upper end, a lower end and a threaded portion therebetween, the threaded portion of the leveling leg threadedly engaging the threaded sleeve so that rotation of the leveling leg causes the leveling leg to move between a first position and a second position relative to the threaded sleeve,wherein in the first position the lower end of the leveling leg is disposed above the roller so that the roller engages a ground surface, andwherein in the second position the lower end of the leveling leg is disposed below the roller so that the lower end engages the ground surface. 2. The leveling leg and wheel assembly of claim 1, wherein the lower end of the leveling leg is configured to couple to and move the second member together with the leveling leg when the leveling leg moves in a direction from the second position to the first position. 3. The leveling leg and wheel assembly of claim 2, further comprising an end cap attached to the second member, the lower end of the leveling leg engaging the end cap when the leveling leg moves in the direction from the second position to the first position. 4. The leveling leg and wheel assembly of claim 2, wherein the second member covers the lower end of the leveling leg from view when the leveling leg is in the second position. 5. The leveling leg and wheel assembly of claim 1, further comprising a mounting plate attached to the first end of the first member and for attachment to the appliance, the upper end of the leveling leg extending upward beyond the mounting plate. 6. The leveling leg and wheel assembly of claim 1, wherein at least one of the upper end and the lower end comprises an adjustment member. 7. The leveling leg and wheel assembly of claim 1, wherein the first member and the second member are tubular in shape. 8. The leveling leg and wheel assembly of claim 1, wherein the roller is disposed within the first member. 9. An appliance comprising: a main body; anda leveling leg and wheel assembly in at least one corner region of the main body, the leveling leg and wheel assembly comprising:a first tubular member comprising a first end attached to the at least one corner region, and a second end opposite to the first end;a second tubular member, one of the first tubular member and the second tubular member being slidably disposed in the other of the first tubular member and the second tubular member;a roller fixedly disposed relative to the first tubular member, extending downward beyond the second end of the first tubular member, and disposed within the second tubular member;a threaded sleeve fixedly disposed relative to the first tubular member; anda leveling leg comprising an upper end, a lower end and a threaded portion therebetween, the threaded portion of the leveling leg threadly engaging the threaded sleeve so that rotation of the leveling leg causes the leveling leg to move between a first position and a second position relative to the threaded sleeve,wherein in the first position the lower end of the leveling leg is disposed above the roller so that the roller engages a ground surface, andwherein in the second position the lower end of the leveling leg is disposed below the roller so that the lower end engages the ground surface. 10. The appliance of claim 9, wherein the lower end of the leveling leg is configured to couple and move the second tubular member together with the leveling leg when the leveling leg moves in a direction from the second position to the first position. 11. The appliance of claim 10, wherein the leveling leg and wheel assembly further comprises an end cap attached to the second tubular member, the lower end of the leveling leg engaging the end cap when the leveling leg moves in the direction from the second position to the first position. 12. The appliance of claim 10, wherein the second tubular member covers the lower end of the leveling leg from view when the leveling leg is in the second position. 13. The appliance of claim 9, wherein the leveling leg and wheel assembly further comprises a mounting plate disposed between the at least one corner region and the first tubular member, and attached to the first end of the first tubular member and the at least one corner region, the upper end of the leveling leg extending upward beyond the mounting plate and disposed in a chamber of the main body. 14. The appliance of claim 13, wherein the leveling leg and wheel assembly is in a rear corner region of the main body, the chamber extending upward and terminating at a top surface of the main body. 15. The appliance of claim 14, further comprising an extension rod disposed in the chamber, the extension rod being securable to the upper end of the leveling leg for rotating the leveling leg. 16. The appliance of claim 9, wherein at least one of the upper end and the lower end comprises an adjustment member. 17. The appliance of claim 9, wherein each of the upper end and the lower end comprises an adjustment member. 18. The appliance of claim 9, the first tubular member and the second tubular member are substantially cylindrical in shape, the first tubular member being disposed in the second tubular member. 19. The appliance of claim 18, wherein the leveling leg and wheel assembly further comprises a spacer disposed between the first tubular member and the second tubular member. 20. The appliance of claim 9, wherein the appliance is a range.
