Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

1.Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3 prong grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2.Remove the base grille (see “Base Grille” earlier in this section). The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

3.Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

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

4.Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

5.Replace the base grille.

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the instructions below:

1.Pry off the top hinge cover.

2.Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆-inch socket or wrench.

3.Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4.Replace the top hinge cover.
