Adjust the Doors

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. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies,

which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side. See

Graphic 7.

3. Use a hex-head 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 7.
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.

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. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base
grille.

Connect Water Supply

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a ½" to 1

¹⁄₄

" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:

■

Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■

Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from

the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from

the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use

¹⁄₄

(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both

ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a

¹⁄₄

" hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the

¹⁄₄

" drilled hole in

the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly
and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not

overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper

tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end

squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet
end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn

ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear.
Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator
to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help

avoid damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed
back against the wall.

2. Turn shutoff valve ON.
3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections

at the valve) or nuts that leak.

4. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your

water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in the

¹⁄₄

" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a

water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
