section to level refrigerator.
Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch.
Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on
the gaskets after cleaning.
When you open the door, warmer air enters the
refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a
vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait one minute
to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it
opens more easily.
Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section.
It may be necessary to add shims under the leveling
legs or rollers to complete installation.
Replace with an appliance bulb of the same wattage,
size and shape (available at your local hardware
store). Refer to the Light Bulb Replacement section.
Unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box. Gently remove the bulb and
reinsert. Reconnect power and reset the refrigerator
control. Refer to the Light Bulb Replacement section
for instructions on removing your light bulb.
