Adjust the Door
Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have two
(Style 1) or four (Style 2) adjustable rollers located at the base of
the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want
the door to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below.
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Move the refrigerator into its final location.
3. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.
4. Remove the bracket covers. 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.
5. Using a screwdriver or 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.
■ To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.
■ To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left.
NOTE: It may take several turns of the roller adjustment
screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
Style 1 - Front leveling
Style 2 - Front and rear leveling
6. 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 front adjustment screws to the right. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both adjustment
screws the same amount.
7. Lower the stabilizing foot by turning it clockwise until it is
firmly against floor.
8. Turn the front adjustment screws counterclockwise to allow
the full weight of the refrigerator to rest on the stabilizing feet.
9. Replace the bracket covers. Place each bracket cover into
the outer edge, swing the cover toward the cabinet and snap
it into place.
10. Replace the base grille.
Normal Sounds
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds
and what may be making them.
■ If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear
a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker for each cycle.
■ Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently, to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
