Replacing Refrigerator Door Insert the bottom hole of refrigerator door straight to the bottom hinge pin. Let the top of door close to the cabinet and insert the top hinge pin to the top hole of freezer door. ( Insert the back of hinge to the groove of protrusion first, then front to the top hole of door.) Turn the hinge fastener tightly to the end.
6-3. Refrigerator Leveling & Door Adjustment (If needed.) Refrigerator must be level in order to maintain optimal performance and desirable front appearance. (If the floor beneath the refrigerator is uneven, freezer and refrigerator doors look unbalanced.) In case freezer door is lower than refrigerator door... Insert a screw driver (flat tip) into a groove of the left wheel (bottom of freezer) and turn it clockwise until the door is balanced.
