Door Height Adjustment (42" [106.7 cm] Models)
Use the following steps to adjust the door height, up or down,
after the refrigerator has been leveled.
NOTE: Adjust the right door to the position of the left door first. If
it is necessary to adjust the left door, you must make sure that the
hinged center rail located on the left-hand door does not drag
when closing the door.
1. Open the freezer drawer. Remove the locking plate screw
from the bottom side of the refrigerator door hinge using a
¹⁄₄
" open-end wrench.
2. Remove the locking plate as shown.
3. Turn the bushing located underneath the bottom of the hinge
using a
¹⁄₂
" open-end wrench. Turning the bushing to the left
will lower the door. Turning the bushing right will raise the
door.
4. After adjusting, check the doors to make sure they are even
at the top and bottom. If the doors are not even, continue to
turn the bushing to adjust the door.
5. Replace the locking plate.
■
Turn the bushing slightly to align the hinge and locking
plate screw holes.
■
Replace and tighten the locking plate screw.
6. Make final check to make sure the doors are aligned and
even.
