Adjust the Doors
There are two leveler foot screws located at the base of the
refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the
door to close more easily, use the following instructions.
1. Using a 1/4"hex driver, turn the leveling screw on each side to
raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws which
makes them easier to turn. It may take several turns of the
leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
To raise, turn the leveling screw clockwise.
To lower, turn the leveling screw counterclockwise.
