7. Replace the ice storage bin (on some models) and any

adjustable door or utility bins.

8. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Leveling and Door Closing

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. Remove the base grille to locate the two leveling screws,

which are part of the front roller assemblies on each side.

See Graphic 8

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator

takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes

it easier to adjust the screws.

3. Use a ¹⁄₂" 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 check that they close as easily

as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the

rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take

several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws

the same amount.

5. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the

leveling feet to the right until they are no longer touching the

ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.

Door Alignment

A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to

have doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear

this way, use the instructions in the previous section to check the

leveling.

The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the

refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food

that will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned

after checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with

food, follow the steps below to adjust the door alignment.

1. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the

refrigerator door.

See Graphic 9

2. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" wrench to turn the screw. To raise the refrigerator

door, turn the screw to the right. To lower the door, turn the

screw to the left.

3. Check that the doors are even at the top and bottom. If

necessary, continue to turn the alignment screw until the

doors are aligned.

4. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.
