Door Closing and Alignment

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

1.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2.Move the refrigerator into its final position.

3.Remove the base grille and the bottom hinge covers (see

“Base Grille” section). The two roller adjustment screws are part of the front roller assemblies.

4.Use a screwdriver or ³⁄₈ in. hex driver to adjust the roller adjustment screws. Turn the roller adjustment screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the roller adjustment screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the roller adjustment screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the roller adjustment screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

5.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 roller adjustment screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both roller adjustment screws the same amount.

6.Lower the stabilizing foot by turning it clockwise until it is firmly against floor.

NOTE: Drawer freezer models have a stabilizing foot on each side which must be lowered by turning clockwise.

7.Replace the base grille.

Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

■If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker for each cycle.

■Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

■You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.

■Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

■Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.

■As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

■Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.

■You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

■You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters the freezer section through vents in the rear and top. The air flows forward through the freezer section and recirculates under the freezer floor. Cool air enters the refrigerator section through the top, flows down and across shelves to the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the bottom.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
