Leveling and Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers — one on the right
and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if you
want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt
using the instructions below:
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location.
2. Remove the base grille to locate the two leveling screws, which
are part of the front roller assemblies on each side.
See Graphic 8.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it
easier to adjust the screws.
3. Use a
¹⁄₂
" hex-head socket wrench to adjust the leveling
screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of
the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that
side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator. See Graphic 8.
4. Open both doors again and check that they close as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several
more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same
amount.
5. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the
leveling feet to the right until they are no longer touching the
ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.
Door Alignment
A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to have
doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear this way,
use the instructions in the previous section to check the leveling.
The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the
refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food that
will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned after
checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with food, follow
the steps below to adjust the door alignment.
1. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the
refrigerator door. See Graphic 9.
2. Use a
⁵⁄₁₆
" wrench to turn the screw. To raise the refrigerator
door, turn the screw to the right. To lower the door, turn the
screw to the left.
3. Check that the doors are even at the top and bottom. If
necessary, continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors
are aligned.
4. Replace the base grille.
NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.
Handle Installation and Removal
PARTS INCLUDED: Door handles (2)
To Install the Handles:
1. Remove the handles, which are packed inside the refrigerator.

towel or other soft surface.
2. Open the freezer door. On the refrigerator door, place the
handle on the shoulder screws.
3. Firmly push the handle toward the door until the handle base is
flush against the door.
4. While holding the handle, push downward until the handle
rests firmly on shoulder screw.
5. Open the refrigerator door and close the freezer door. Repeat
steps 2 through 4 to install the other handle onto the freezer
door.
To Remove the Handles:
1. While holding the handle, push upward until the handle is
released from the shoulder screw.
2. Gently pull the handle away from the door.
3. If necessary, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the shoulder
screws from the door.
