Door Closing and Door Alignment

The base grille covers the leveling screws and roller assemblies located at the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet below the freezer door or drawer. Before making adjustments, remove the base grille and move the refrigerator to its final location.

1.Remove the two screws fastening the base grille to the cabinet, and set the screws aside. Grasp the grille and pull it toward you.

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

2.Move the refrigerator to its final location.

NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the leveling legs off the floor by turning the leveling screws counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the floor.

3.So the doors will close easier, use a ¹⁄₄" hex driver to turn both leveling screws clockwise. This will raise the front of the refrigerator tilting it slightly downward to the rear. Turn both leveling screws the same amount.

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

4.Open and close the doors to make sure they close as easily as you like. If not, increase the tilt by turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several turns of the leveling screw to allow the doors to close easier.

5.Check for door alignment. If one door is lower than the other, adjust the leveling screw, on the lower side of the refrigerator. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator until the doors are aligned. It may take several turns of the leveling screw to raise the refrigerator.

6.Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems unsteady or rolls forward when the door or drawer is opened adjust the leveling screws. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn the leveling screw on each side clockwise until the rollers are up and the leveling feet are firmly against the floor.

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

7.Replace the base grille by aligning the holes in the grille with the holes in the cabinet and fasten using the screws removed in Step 1.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Opening and Closing Doors

(French door models)

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together.

There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.

When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically forms a seal between the two doors.
