Adjust the Door
Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have four
adjustable rollers (Style 1) or a leveler foot 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
Turn the brake foot clockwise until it is firmly against the floor to
keep the refigerator from rolling forward when the freezer drawer
is pulled open.
■
To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.
■
To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left.
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.
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.
