Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers — one on the right and
one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if you want the doors
to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions
below:
1. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which
areatthebaseoftherefrigeratoroneitherside(seeGraphic8).
3. Use a hex-head socket wrench 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 (see
Graphic 8).
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.
4. Open both doors again and check to make sure 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.
5. Replace the base grille.
NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.
