Leveling Refrigerator

Your refrigerator has a front and rear roller at the base of the product on each side. All four rollers can be adjusted from the front of the product. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

1. Check the installation location to be sure that you have the proper clearance for the refrigerator. See the “Location Requirements” section. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

3. Open the refrigerator and freezer doors to locate the leveling bolts at the left and right of the refrigerator base. If your refrigerator has a base grille, remove it (see “Base Grille” earlier in this section).

NOTE: The yellow (top) bolt will adjust the rear of the refrigerator, and the silver (bottom) bolt will adjust the front of the refrigerator.

4.Use a ¹⁄₂ in. (12.70 mm) socket wrench to adjust the leveling bolts. Turn the leveling bolt to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling bolt to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling bolts to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Be careful not to unscrew the leveling bolts too much when lowering the refrigerator. The bolt head will start to come away from the refrigerator when in the lowest position. If the screw does come out of the rear roller bracket, the compartment access cover on the back of the refrigerator will have to be removed to reinstall the bolt.
