Adjust the Doors

NOTE: If the casters are installed on your convertible refrigerator/
freezer, the leveling screws will not work. Shims can be placed under
the casters to level a convertible refrigerator/freezer that has casters
installed.
Door Closing
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer has two front adjustable rollers –
one on the right and one on the left. If your convertible refrigerator/
freezer seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust
the convertible refrigerator/freezer's tilt using the instructions below.
1. Remove the base grille. See Base Grille graphic in "Convertible
Refrigerator/Freezer Doors." The two leveling screws are part of
the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the
convertible refrigerator/freezer on either side.
2. Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling
screw to the right to raise that side of the convertible refrigerator/
freezer 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 convertible refrigerator/freezer.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the convertible
refrigerator/freezer takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
3. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close
as easily as you like. If not, tilt the convertible refrigerator/freezer
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.
4. Replace the base grille.
Align Doors
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the instructions below:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between
the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.
