4. After adjusting, check the doors to make sure they are even
at the top and bottom. If the doors are not even, continue to
turn the bushing to adjust the door height.
5. Replace the locking plate.
6. Turn the bushing slightly to align the hinge and locking plate
screw holes.
7. Replace the door stop screw or screws and tighten.
IMPORTANT: Do not place the door stop screw in the 130°
position on Overlay Series models unless the custom panels
have been routed on the hinge side. See "Overlay Series Door
Panel and Cabinetry Clearance."
8. Recheck to make sure the doors are aligned and even.
Door Swing Adjustment
1. Check that the refrigerator door can open freely. If the door
opens too wide, remove the door stop screw or screws
(depending on your model) from the bottom hinge. See "Door
Height Adjustment" earlier in this section.
2. Hold the door open to a position that is less than 90°.
3. Replace the door stop screw or screws in the bottom hinge
and tighten.
