Replace the Doors and Hinges
1.Replace both bottom hinges, if removed. Make sure the shim is between the hinge and cabinet. Tighten screws.
2.Before replacing the freezer door on the bottom left hinge, feed the wiring with the yellow plug and the water dispenser tubing through the hinge. Assistance may be needed.
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.
3.Align and replace the top left hinge as shown. See Graphic 4. Tighten screws.
4.Reconnect water dispenser tubing and wiring.
IMPORTANT: Do not intertwine the water tubing and wiring bundles when reconnecting them.
■Push tubing into fitting until it stops and the black mark touches the face of fitting. See Graphic 2.
■Reconnect wiring plugs. Reinstall the wiring clip over the grommets. Tighten screw. See Graphic 3.
5.Replace the refrigerator door by lifting the door onto the bottom right hinge.
6.Align and replace the top right hinge as shown. See Graphic 6. Tighten screws.
7.Replace the ice storage bin (on some models) and any adjustable door or utility bins.
8.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 8.
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⁄" 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. See Graphic 8.
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 refrigerator door. See Graphic 9.
2.Use a ⁄" 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.
