Adjust The Doors - Kenmore 7121 series Use And Care Manual

Adjusting the Doors
Leveling
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable legs - near each
front corner of ther refrigerator, next to the rollers. If your
refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to
close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the following
instructions:
1. Remove the base grille. See "Front Base Grille
Installation".
2. Turn the two front leveling legs clockwise to raise the
front of the refrigerator and counterclockwise to lower.
NoTe: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs
which makes it easier to adjust.

3. 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 legs clockwise .
4. Replace the base grille.
NoTe:
• Before moving the refrigerator away from the wall be
sure to turn the leveling legs counterclockwise so that
the weight of the refrigerator is fully transferred to the
front rollers.
• If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
rear of ther refrigerator we suggest rolling the rear
rollers onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.
