Adjust the Door

Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have two front adjustable rollers (Style 1),or four adjustable rollers (Style 2), or a leveling screw (Style 3) located at the base of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, follow the instructions for your model.

Style1–Two Adjustable Rollers

1.Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it toward you.

2.Remove the bracket cover. Insert the eraser end of a pencil in the cover notch. Apply slight downward pressure to the notched side of the cover while swinging it off.

3.Using a screwdriver or ³⁄₈" hex driver, turn the roller adjustment screw on each side to raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.

NOTE: It may take several turns of the roller adjustment screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.

To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left.

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