2.Remove the locking plate as shown.

3.Turn the bushing located underneath the bottom of the hinge using a ¹⁄₂" open end wrench. Turning the bushing to the left will lower the door. Turning the bushing right will raise the door.

4.After adjusting, check the doors to make sure they are even at the top and bottom. If the doors are not even, continue to turn the bushing to adjust the door height.

5.Replace the locking plate.

6.Turn the bushing slightly to align the hinge and locking plate screw holes.

7.Replace the door stop screw or screws and tighten.

IMPORTANT: Do not place the door stop screw in the 130° position on Overlay Series models unless the custom panels have been routed on the hinge side. See “Overlay Series Door Panel & Cabinetry Clearance.”

8.Make final recheck to make sure the doors are aligned and even.

1.Check that the refrigerator door can open freely. If the door opens too wide, remove the door stop screw or screws (depending on your model) from the bottom hinge. See “Door Height Adjustment” earlier in this section.

2.Hold the door open to a position that is less than 90°.

3.Replace the door stop screw or screws in the bottom hinge and tighten.
