Door Closing, Leveling, And Alignment - Whirlpool WRS321SDHZ Manuel D'utilisation

10. It may not be necessary to remove the bottom hinges to move
the refrigerator through a doorway. Both bottom hinges have
similar construction.
� If necessary, use an internal star drive or a 3/8" hex-head
socket wrench to remove the bottom hinges as shown
below.
IMPORTANT: The leveler brackets are mounted behind the
hinges. If you remove the hinges, make sure that the leveler
brackets are replaced when reinstalling the hinges.
Door Closing, Leveling, and
Alignment
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. Use a bubble level to check levelness of floor where the rear
side of the refrigerator will rest. If the refrigerator is not
leveled, adjust or add the shim on flooring to create a leveled
floor for the rear side wheels. A leveled rear side prevents the
refrigerator cabinet from forming a twist.
2. Move the refrigerator into its final location. If necessary, open
both doors to 90° and remove the base grille as shown below.
3. The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each side
of the product as shown below.
A. Bottom Hinge
B. Leveler Bracket
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This
makes it easier to make adjustments.

C. Leveling Foot
4. 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. Raise the wheels while one person pushes on the
refrigerator to lift from front side. Use the bubble level on top of
the refrigerator or on its side to level the refrigerator. Check
bubble level and at the same time observe the gaps and
squareness to the adjacent cabinets, furniture or trim. If
adjacent furnishings are not level, it may not be possible to
achieve even gaps when refrigerator is level.
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.
Continue adjusting until all four corners are steady without
rock.
5. 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.
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. If necessary, open both doors to 90° and remove the base
grille.
