Door Closing and Door Alignment
Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have two front
adjustable rollers (Style 1), or a leveling screw (Style 2), located at
the bottom of the refrigerator below the freezer door or drawer.
Before making adjustments, remove the base grille and move the
refrigerator to its final location.
Style1–Freezer Door Models
1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.
2. Remove the bracket cover. Insert the eraser end of a pencil
into the cover notch. Apply slight downward pressure to the
notched side of the cover while swinging it off.
3. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the brake
foot off the floor by turning the roller adjustment screws to the
left. The front rollers will be touching the floor.
4. So the doors will close easier, use a screwdriver or ³⁄₈" hex
driver to turn both roller adjustment screws to the right. This
will raise the front of the refrigerator tilting it slightly downward
to the rear. Turn both roller adjustment screws the same
amount.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the adjustment screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to turn the screws.
5. Open and close the doors to make sure they close as easily as
you like. If not, increase the tilt by turning both roller
adjustment screws to the right. It may take several turns of the
adjustment screws to allow the doors to close easier.
6. Check for door alignment. Turn the roller adjustment screw to
raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.
■ To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.
■ To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left.
7. Lower the brake foot on each side, by turning it clockwise until
it is firmly against floor.
8. Replace the bracket cover. Place the bracket cover into the
outer edge, swing the cover toward the cabinet and snap it
into place.
9. Replace the base grille.
Style 2–Freezer Drawer Models
1. Remove the two screws fastening the base grille to the
cabinet, and set the screws aside. Grasp the grille and pull it
toward you.
2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the leveling
legs off the floor by turning the leveling screws
counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the floor.
3. So the doors will close easier, use a ¹⁄₄" hex driver to turn both
leveling screws clockwise. This will raise the front of the
refrigerator tilting it slightly downward to the rear. Turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This
makes it easier to turn the screws.
