Adjust the Doors
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 deers to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's
tilt using the instructions below:
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location.
2. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies
which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side. See
Graphic 7.
& Use a he×-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 7.
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.
4. Open both doors again and check to make sure 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. Replace the base grille.
NOTE: Be sure to refesten the Teeh Sheet behind the base
grille.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

4.
6.
• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
•
Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/_,,
(6.35 ram) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure
both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
Using a grounded drill, drill a %" hole in the cold water pipe
you have selected.

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the y..d drilled hole
in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. lighten the pipe clamp screws
carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do
not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
6. Place the free end of the tubing in a ceetainer or sink, and
turn QN the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the
copper tubing.
Connect to Refngerator
1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do
not overtighten. Use the tube clamp On the back of the
refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.
This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the
refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.
2. Turn shuteffvalve ON.
& Check for leaks. Tighten any conneetions (ieeluding
connections at the valve} or nuts that leak.

Normal Sounds
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds
and what may be making them.
• If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a
buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker for each cycle.
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
•
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed
may increase as you open the doers or add warm food.
•
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
