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.
1. If necessary, open both doors to 90 ° and remove the base grille. ,See
Graphic 1.
2. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the refrigerator
door. See Graphic 9.
3. Use a 5/16" open-ended or adjustable wrench to turn the screw. To
raise the refrigerator door_ turn the screw to the right. To lower the
door, turn the screw to the left.
4. Check that the doors are even at the top. If necessary, continue to
turn the alignment screw until the doors are aligned.
5. Open both doors to 90 °. Replace the base grille. See Graphic 1.
