Kenmore 41003, 41002, 41009 manual Positioning and Leveling the Refrigerator

POSITIONING AND LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR

Now that the refrigerator has been assembled and connected to a water supply source, position and level the the refrigerator.

The refrigerator has three front leveling legs--one on the right, one on the left, and one in the middle. Adjust legs to alter tilt from front to back or side to side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

NOTE: Make sure the location meets all the requirements listed on page 9.

1.Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2.Open the refrigerator and freezer doors and remove the 3 screws and the front leg cover.

. If it is not level, adjust the front leveling legs until the refrigerator is level. Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the leg counterclockwise to extend the leg and raise the refrigerator at that point. Turn the leg clockwise to retract the leg and lower the refrigerator at that point. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

5.Replace the front leg cover and secure with 3 screws.

6.Close the refrigerator and freezer doors.

3.Place a level on the lower shelves or drawer covers.

Check to make sure the refrigerator and freezer sections are level from side to side and front to back.

NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
