Adjusting The Doors - KitchenAid KBFA20ER Technical Education

ADJUSTING THE DOORS

Depending on the model, the refrigerator may
have two (Style 1) or four (Style 2) adjustable
rollers located at the base of the refrigerator. If
the refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want
the door to close easier, adjust the refrigera-
tor's tilt using the instructions below.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
1. Move the refrigerator into its final loca-
tion.
2. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille
firmly and pull it toward you.
3. Remove the bracket covers. Insert the
eraser end of a pencil in the cover notch.
Apply slight downward pressure to the
notched side of the cover while swinging
it off.
4. Using a screwdriver or 3/8˝ hex driver,
turn the roller adjustment screw(s) on
each side to raise or lower that side of
the refrigerator.
NOTE: Have someone push against the top
of the refrigerator to take some weight off the
adjustment screws and rollers so the screws
are easier to turn.
• To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw
to the right.
• To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw
to the left.
NOTE: It may take several turns of the roller
adjustment screw to adjust the tilt of the re-
frigerator

5. Open the door again to make sure that it
closes as easily as you like. If not, tilt the
refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both front adjustment screws to
the right. It may take several more turns,
and you should turn both adjustment
screws the same amount.
6. Lower the stabilizing foot by turning it
clockwise until it is firmly against floor.
7. Turn the front adjustment screws coun-
terclockwise to allow the full weight of the
refrigerator to rest on the stabilizing feet.
8. Replace the bracket covers. Place each
bracket cover into the outer edge, swing
the cover toward the cabinet and snap it
into place.
9. Replace the base grille.
