Adjust the Doors
IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA)
guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the
refrigerator.
Door Closing
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
following instructions:
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. Use a socket driver 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 which
makes it easier to adjust.
3. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as you
like and that they stay closed. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It
may take several more turns.
NOTES:
■ To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both leveling
screws the same amount.
■ Some models have an additional leveling leg located in front
of the right-hand roller assembly. After adjusting the
refrigerator to the desired tilt, turn this leveling leg until it is
firmly against the floor as shown.
On Some Models
4. Replace the base grille.
Door Aligning
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the following instructions:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" 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.
Caster Installation
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
TOOLS NEEDED:
PARTS SUPPLIED:
1. Before you begin, turn the refrigerator control OFF.
2. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
3. Remove food and any adjustable shelves and bins from
refrigerator.
4. Open the lower compartment door and remove the base grille.
Remove the grille by grasping the grille with both hands, lifting up
and pulling bottom of the grille toward you.
5. Place the plastic skids (shipped with the refrigerator) on the floor
at least 3 ft (91.44 cm) apart. Lay a piece of cardboard or other
material over the skids. This will elevate the refrigerator to allow
for easier caster installation and also help to avoid scratching the
finish.
NOTE: If the skids have been discarded or are not available,
2" x 4" boards may be used.
