Door Closing and Alignment
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 easier, 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 roller adjustment 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 roller adjustment
screws. Turn the roller adjustment screw to the right to
raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the roller
adjustment screw to the left to lower that side. It may
take several turns of the roller adjustment screws to
adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the roller adjustment
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
roller adjustment screws to the right. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both roller
adjustment 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.
