5. Reconnect water tubing and wiring.

IMPORTANT: Do not intertwine the water tubing and wiring 
bundles when reconnecting them.

■

Water Connection Style 1: Push the larger 

⁵⁄₁₆" (7.94 mm) 

water tube into the blue fitting until it stops, then push the 
smaller 

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water tube into the green fitting until 

it stops. See Graphic 2A.

Water Connection Style 2: Push the black water tube 
with the blue tip into the blue fitting until it stops. Close 
the clasp around the tubing, making sure it snaps into 
place. Repeat this process to connect the red-tipped 
black water tube and the red fitting. See Graphic 2B.

■

Reinstall the P-clamp around the small wiring bundle (with 
one yellow plug), then replace the P-clamp on the top 
screw hole of the routing plate. See Graphic 3.

■

Gently route the large wiring bundle (with two white plugs) 
through the hole in the routing plate, so that the wiring 
runs behind the right side of the routing plate. See 
Graphic 3.

NOTE: The large wiring bundle should always remain 
below the small wiring bundle.

■

Reconnect the wiring plugs to the electrical housing, then 
push the housing back under the refrigerator. Align the left 
hole in the front lip of the housing with the right hole in the 
refrigerator's base crossbar. See Graphic 3.

■

Reinstall the wiring clip over the grommets. First install the 
smaller grommet into the top of the clip, then install the 
larger grommet into the bottom of the clip (closest to the 
screw hole). See Graphic 3.

■

Align the clip's screw hole with the left hole in the electrical 
housing and the right hole in the crossbar, and screw in 
the clip using a single screw. Tighten screw. See 
Graphic 3.

IMPORTANT: Once connected, the wiring bundles should 
not be taut. Some flexibility is needed to allow the freezer 
door to open properly.

6. Replace the refrigerator door by lifting the door onto the 

bottom right hinge.

7. Align and replace the top right hinge as shown. See Graphic 6. 

Tighten screws.

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

adjustable door or utility bins.

9. Plug refrigerator into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Your refrigerator has two adjustable front feet — one on the right 
and one on the left. In most cases, the refrigerator should be 
steady when both feet are touching the floor. 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. If necessary, open 

both doors to 90° and remove the base grille. See Graphic 1.

2. The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each side 

of the product. See Graphic 8.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator 
takes some weight off the leveling feet. This makes it easier to 
make adjustments.
3. Use a 

¹⁄₄" open-ended or adjustable wrench to adjust the 

leveling feet. Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that side 
of the product or turn it to the right to lower that side of the 
product.
NOTE: Both leveling feet should be snug against the floor, and 
the rollers should not touch the floor. This keeps the 
refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the doors.

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 the leveling feet to the left. It may take several more 
turns, and you should turn both leveling feet 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.

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. If necessary, open both doors to 90° and remove the base 

grille. See Graphic 1.

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

refrigerator door. See Graphic 9.

3. Use a 

⁵⁄₁₆" open-ended or adjustable 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.

4. Check that the doors are even at the top. If necessary, 

continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are 
aligned.

5. Open both doors to 90°. Replace the base grille. See 

Graphic 1.
