Adjust the Doors

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers — one on the
right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's
tilt using the instructions below:
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location.
2. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies,
which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side. See
Graphic 8.
3. Use a hex-head socket wrench 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. See Graphic 8.
4. Open both doors again and be sure that they close as easily
5. Replace the base grille.
NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line
is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
