Adjust the Door
Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have two 
(Style 1) or four (Style 2) adjustable rollers located at the base of 
the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want 
the door to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the 
instructions below. 
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location. 
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: Having someone push against the top of the 
refrigerator takes some weight off the adjustment screws and 
rollers. This makes it easier to turn the screws.
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 refrigerator.
Style 1 - Front leveling
Style 2 - Front and rear leveling
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 counterclockwise 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.
