Adjust the Door
Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have two front
adjustable rollers (Styles 1 and 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–Freezer Door Models
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.
4. Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both roller adjustment screws to the right. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both adjustment
screws the same amount.
5. Lower the brake foot on each side, by turning it clockwise
until it is firmly against floor.
6. Replace the bracket cover. Place the bracket cover into the
outer edge, swing the cover toward the cabinet and snap it
into place.
7. Replace the base grille.
Style 2–Freezer Drawer Models
1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.
2. Raise or lower the cabinet. Using a 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. 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.
3. Turn the brake foot clockwise until it is firmly against the floor
to keep the refrigerator from rolling forward when the freezer
drawer is pulled open.
4. Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several
more turns, and you should turn both screws the same
amount.
5. Replace the base grille.
Style 3–Leveling Screw
1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.
2. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn the leveling screw 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 leveling screws. This
makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take several turns of
the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
■ To raise, turn the leveling screw clockwise.
■ To lower, turn the leveling screw counterclockwise.
