it is necessary to adjust the left door, you must make sure that the
hinged center rail located on the left-hand door does not drag
when closing the door.

from the bottom side of the refrigerator door hinge using a
¹⁄₄" open-end wrench.

at the top and bottom. If the doors are not even, continue to
