Adjust the Doors
IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA)
guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the
refrigerator.
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable levelers - one on the
right and one on the left. To avoid a hazard due to instability, if
your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close
easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the following instructions.
1. Remove the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic in
“Refrigerator Doors.” The two leveling screws are part of
the front roller assemblies, which are at the base of the
refrigerator on either side.
2. Use a socket driver 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.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers which makes it easier to adjust.
NOTE: On some models if your product has an extra leveler
adjust it, turning right or left to prevent product tipping.
3. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as
you like and that they stay closed. If not, tilt the refrigerator
slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the
right. It may take several more turns.
NOTES:
■ To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
■ On models with the leveling/roller assembly, after
adjusting the refrigerator to the desired tilt, turn the
leveling leg until it is rmly against the oor as shown.
On some models
4. Replace the base grille.
Door Aligning
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the following instructions:
1. Loosen the top hinge screws using a 5/16" socket or wrench.
2. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer
between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
3. Replace the top hinge cover, if removed in Step 1.
