DOOR CLOSING AND ALIGNMENT
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has 2 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:
1. Plug refrigerator power cord into a
grounded (earthed) outlet. Move the
refrigerator into its final position.
2. The two leveling screws are part of the
front roller assemblies which are at the
base of the refrigerator on either side.
3. Use a screwdriver 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. 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.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors looks
uneven, you can adjust it using the
instructions below:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a
5
16
-inch socket or wrench.
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.
