Adjust the Door

Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have two

(Style 1) or four (Style 2) adjustable rollers located at the base of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

1.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

2.Move the refrigerator into its final location.

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

4.Remove the bracket covers. 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

8.Turn the front adjustment screws counterclockwise to allow the full weight of the refrigerator to rest on the stabilizing feet.

9.Replace the bracket covers. Place each bracket cover into the outer edge, swing the cover toward the cabinet and snap it into place.

10.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 refrigerator 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.
