7. Lift the refrigerator door straight up off bottom hinge.
IMPORTANT: Rest the door on its side on a soft, clean
surface, such as a towel, blanket or piece of cardboard. This

move the refrigerator through a doorway. Both bottom
hinges have similar construction.
If necessary, disassemble the hinges as shown.

IMPORTANT: To aid in door alignment and closing,
there is a shim located between the hinge and the
cabinet. When the hinge is removed, the shim may fall
out of place. If this occurs, set the shim aside so it can
be put back in place when the hinge is reconnected
later.
Replace the Doors and Hinges
1. Replace both bottom hinges, if removed. Make sure the shim
is between the hinge and cabinet. Tighten screws.
NOTE: Provide additional support for the doors while the top
hinges are being replaced. Do not depend on the door magnets
to hold the doors in place while you are working.
2. Align and replace the top left hinge as shown.

5. Replace any adjustable door or utility bins.
6. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Leveling and Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers — one on the
right and one on the left. 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.
2. Remove the base grille to locate the two leveling screws,
which are part of the front roller assemblies on each side.
See Graphic 6
.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes
it easier to adjust the screws.
3. Use a ¹⁄₂" hex-head socket wrench to adjust the leveling
screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side
of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to
lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling
screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
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 both leveling screws to the right. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws
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.
Door Alignment
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. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the
See Graphic 7
refrigerator door.
2. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" 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.
3. Check that the doors are even at the top and bottom. If
necessary, continue to turn the alignment screw until the
doors are aligned.
4. Replace the base grille.
NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.
