REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
MAKING MINOR DOOR ADJUSTMENTS
Remember, a level refrigerator is necessary for getting
the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the
previous section on leveling the refrigerator.
When the freezer door is higher than the refrigerator door,
adjust the refrigerator leg to level the two doors.
The following process is used when correcting the level of
either door.
1. Open the refrigerator and freezer doors and remove
the 3 screws and the front leg cover.
2. Use an Allen wrench (1) to loosen the bolt (2) and nut
(3) on top of the lower hinge (4). Unthread the nut to
the upper end of the bolt.
3. Using the Allen wrench (1), turn the bolt (2) clockwise
to raise the door or counterclockwise to lower the
door. Close the doors to check the level. Repeat step
3 until the doors are level.
4. After the door is adjusted and the doors are leveled,
thread the nut (3) down the bolt (2) until it touches the
lower hinge (4). Tighten the bolt with the Allen wrench
(1) to lock the nut and screw in place.
NOTE: If the nut and bolt are not securely tightened, they
can come loose, causing the doors to be misaligned.
5. Replace the front leg cover and secure with 3 screws.
6. Close the refrigerator and freezer doors.
