Adjust the Doors
Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have four
adjustable rollers (Style 1) or a leveling screw (Style 2) located at
the base of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or
you want the door to close more easily, use the instructions
below.
1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.
2. Raise or lower the cabinet.
Style 1 - Front and rear leveling
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.
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.
Style 2 - Leveling screw
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.
NOTE: Your refrigerator may have a rear roller adjustment
screw on each side. To raise or lower the rear of the
refrigerator, use a
³⁄₈" hex driver to turn the screws.
3. 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.
4. Replace the base grille.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Opening and Closing Doors
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.
