Door Closing and Door Alignment

IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA)
guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the
refrigerator.
Door Closing
A The base grille covers the leveling screws and roller assemblies
located at the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet below the
freezer drawer. Before making adjustments, remove the base
grille and move the refrigerator to its final location.
1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.
B 2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the
leveling legs off the floor by turning the leveling screws
counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the floor.
3. So the doors will close easier, use a ¹⁄₄ " hex driver to turn
both leveling screws clockwise. This will raise the front of the
refrigerator tilting it slightly downward to the rear. Turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
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.
4. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as
you like and that they stay closed. If not, tilt the refrigerator
slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to
the right. It may take several more turns.
NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
5. Replace the base grille.
Pull open the freezer drawer.
Align the three clips on the back of the base grille with
the three tabs at the base of the refrigerator.
