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. Locate the bottom hinge
and remove the door stop screw.

Models
Remove the door stop screw from the bottom side of the
hinge with a ³⁄₈" open end wrench.
Overlay Models
Remove the two door stop screws: one from the bottom side
using a ³⁄₈" open end wrench and one from the top side using
a ⁵⁄₃₂" hex key.
2. Remove the locking plate as shown.
3. Turn the bushing located underneath the bottom of the hinge
using a ¹⁄₂" open end wrench. Turning the bushing to the left
will lower the door. Turning the bushing right will raise the
door.
4. After adjusting, check the doors to make sure they are even at
the top and bottom. If the doors are not even, continue to turn
the bushing to adjust the door height.
5. Replace the locking plate.
6. Turn the bushing slightly to align the hinge and locking plate
screw holes.
7. Replace the door stop screw or screws and tighten.
IMPORTANT: Do not place the door stop screw in the 130°
position on Overlay Series models unless the custom panels
have been routed on the hinge side. See “Overlay Series Door
Panel and Cabinetry Clearance.”
8. Recheck to make sure the doors are aligned and even.

Height Adjustment” earlier in this section.
2. Hold the door open to a position that is less than 90°.
