Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

Rollers

The rollers have 3 purposes:

1 Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when opened about halfway. [Raise the front about 5/8″ (15 mm) from the floor.]

2 Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and does not wobble.

3 Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.

Final leveling adjustments should be made after the refrigerator has been installed.

To adjust the rollers on 25′, 27′, and 29′models:

Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use a 3/8″ hex socket or wrench, or an adjustable wrench.

To adjust the rollers on 21′ and 23′models:

Remove the base grille by opening the doors, removing the screws at each end, and pulling it straight out.

Turn the front roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use a 3/8″ hex socket or wrench, or an adjustable wrench.

Roller adjusting screws

These models also have rear adjustable rollers so you can align the refrigerator with your kitchen cabinets. Use a long-handled 5/16″ socket wrench to turn the screws for the rear rollers—clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
