Adjust the Doors
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right
and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you
want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using
the instructions below.
Door Closing (models without leveling legs)
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. Using a screwdriver, 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. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
3. 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.
4. Replace the base grille.

4. Turn both leveling legs clockwise until the legs are firmly
against the floor.
IMPORTANT: To avoid scratching the floor when you move
the refrigerator, adjust the front rollers to raise the leveling legs
¹⁄₈" to ¹⁄₄" above the floor. Once the refrigerator is back in its
final location, adjust the front rollers so the leveling legs are
again firmly against the floor.
5. Replace the base grille.
Align Doors
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust the
door by using the following instructions.
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench, loosen the top hinge screws.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between
the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the
illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer
section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the
freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The
rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents
are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
