Refrigerator Leveling and Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable legs, one on each side. The 
back of the refrigerator rests on two fixed rollers. The base grille covers 
the adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies located at the bottom of 
the refrigerator below the refrigerator door. Before making any 
adjustments, remove the base grille and move the refrigerator to its 
final location.

Tools Needed:

 

¹⁄₄

" hex driver, Phillips screwdriver

1.

Remove the base grille screws. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it 
toward you. Open the refrigerator door to access the brake feet.

NOTE:

 To allow the refrigerator to roll more easily, raise the brake 

feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will be 
touching the floor.

2.

Move the refrigerator to its final location.

3.

Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the rollers 
are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against the floor. 
This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the 
refrigerator door.

IMPORTANT:

 If you need to make further adjustments involving the 

brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep 
the refrigerator level.

4.

Make sure the door closes easily. If you are satisfied with the door 
opening and closing, skip the next section. If, however, the door 
does not close easily or the door pops open, adjust the tilt.
