Adjust The Doors; Normal Sounds - Kenmore 106.6110 Series Use & Care Manual

Adjust the Doors

IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA)
guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the
refrigerator.
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the
right and one on the left. 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 the Base Grille graphic in
"Refrigerator Doors." The two leveling screws are part of the
front roller assemblies, which are at the base of the
refrigerator on either side.
2. Use a socket driver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the
leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the
refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower
that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to
adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers 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 screws to
the right. It may take several more turns.
NOTES:
To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
On models with the leveling/roller assembly, after
adjusting the refrigerator to the desired tilt, turn the
leveling leg until it is firmly against the floor as shown.

2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer
between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.

Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal.
Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make
the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of
sounds and what may be making them.
If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, you will
hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the
ice maker for each cycle.
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air
through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan
speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm
food.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a
popping noise.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
