10. Lift the refrigerator door straight up off bottom hinge.
11. It may not be necessary to remove the bottom hinges to move
the refrigerator through a doorway. Both bottom hinges have
similar construction.
n If necessary, disassemble the hinges as shown. See
Graphic 6.
IMPORTANT: To aid in door alignment and closing, there
is a shim located between the hinge and the cabinet.
When the hinge is removed, the shim may fall out of
place. If this occurs, set the shim aside so it can be put
back in place when the hinge is reconnected later.
Replace the Doors and Hinges
1. Replace both bottom hinges, if removed. Make sure the shim
is between the hinge and cabinet. Tighten screws.
2. Assistance may be needed to feed the water dispenser tubing
through the bottom hinge while reinstalling the freezer door.
Feed the dispenser tubing through the bottom left hinge
before replacing the door on the hinge.
NOTE: Provide additional support for the doors while the top
hinges are being replaced. Do not depend on the door magnets to
hold the doors in place while you are working.
3. Reconnect water dispenser tubing by pushing tubing into
fitting until it stops and black mark touches face of fitting. See
Graphic
2. On some models, replace tubing in hose clip.
4. Align and replace the top left hinge as shown. See Graphic 3.

Leveling and Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers — one on the
right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's
tilt using the instructions below:
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location.
2. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies
which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side. See
Graphic 7.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes
it easier to adjust the screws.
3. Use a ¹⁄₂" hex-head wrench to adjust the leveling screws. Turn
the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the
refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that
side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator. See Graphic
7.
4. Open both doors again and check that they close as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several
more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the
same amount.
5. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.
Door Alignment
A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to
have doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear this
way, use the instructions in the previous section to check the
leveling.
The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the
refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food
that will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned
after checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with food,
follow the steps below to adjust the door alignment.
