ADJUST DOORS
DOOR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Use the following steps to adjust the door height, up or
down, after the doors have been leveled.
1. Open the freezer or refrigerator door and locate the
bottom hinge.
2. Remove the door stop screw from the bottom side of
the hinge with a 3/8" open end wrench.
3. Remove the locking plate as shown.
4. Using a 1/2" open end wrench, turn the bushing
located underneath the bottom of the hinge.
Turn the bushing to the left to lower the door.
Turn the bushing to the right to raise the door.
5. After adjusting, check the doors to make sure they
are even across the top and bottom. If the doors are
not even, continue to turn the bushing to adjust the
door height.
6. Replace the locking plate.
7. Turn the bushing slightly to align the hinge and
locking plate screw holes.
8. Replace the door stop screw or screws and tighten.
9. Recheck to make sure the doors are aligned and
even.
DOOR SWING ADJUSTMENT
1. Check that the refrigerator door can open freely.
If the door opens too wide, remove the door stop
screw or screws (depending on your model) from the
bottom hinge. See “Door Height Adjustment” earlier
in this section.
2. Hold the door open to a position that is less than 90°.
3. Replace the door stop screw or screws in the bottom
hinge and tighten.

flat-head mounting screws. Remove and discard the
two 1/4" hex-head mounting screws.

other door or the refrigerator trim.
3. Tighten the four Torx 27 flat-head mounting screws to
a torque of approximately 100 inch-pounds (11.3 Nm).
