Door Closing and Alignment
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:
1. Roll out the refrigerator and use a level to check the
floor at the back from side-to-side. If needed, use
shims to level the back of the refrigerator if it is uneven.
Roll the refrigerator back into place with the rear rollers
on top of any shim(s) used so that the rear of the
refrigerator is level.
2. With the rear already level and the refrigerator in place,
use the bottom leveling screws to level the refrigerator
from side-to-side. They are part of the front roller
assemblies, which are found at the base of the
refrigerator on either side.
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. Depending on your model, to level your refrigerator you
may either turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of
the refrigerator or turn the screw counterclockwise to
lower that side. Place a level on top of the refrigerator
to check adjustments.
4. If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to
raise the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher
than the back. To do this, turn both leveling screws
clockwise ¹⁄₂ turn.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both screws an equal
amount or the refrigerator will no longer be level side-
to-side.
5. Open doors and check if they close automatically. If
not, repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. Using a level, check to see if the refrigerator is still level
side-to-side. Readjust if necessary.
