Maytag MSB26C6MDM Manuale Proprietario

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.

PARTS INCLUDED: Door handles (2), 

¹⁄₈" hex key, spare 

setscrew(s)

NOTE: The handle mounting setscrews are preinstalled in the 
handle.

1. Remove the handles, which are packed inside the refrigerator.

NOTE: To avoid scratching the finish, place the handles on a 
towel or other soft surface.

2. Open the freezer door. On the refrigerator door, place the 

handle on the shoulder screws with the setscrews facing the 
freezer.     

3. Firmly push the handle toward the door until the handle base 

is flush against the door. 

4. While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key 

into the upper hole and slightly rotate the hex key until it is 
engaged in the setscrew. 

5. Using a clockwise motion, tighten the setscrew until it begins 

to contact the shoulder screw. 

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to begin fastening the lower setscrew. 

7. Once both setscrews have been partially tightened as 

outlined in the previous steps, fully tighten both the upper 
and lower setscrews.

IMPORTANT: When the screws feel tight, tighten them an 
additional quarter-turn. The handle is not properly installed 
without this extra tightening.

8. Open the refrigerator door and close the freezer door. Repeat 

steps 2 through 7 to install the other handle onto the freezer 
door with the setscrews facing the refrigerator.

9. Save the hex key and all instructions.
