Door Alignment
A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to have doors

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.
