Door Alignment

The refrigerator doors are designed to be slightly misaligned
vertically when the refrigerator is empty. Please follow the next
steps to align the refrigerator doors.
1. Use an 11/16" open-ended wrench tool to loosen the locking
nut located below the refrigerator door. See graphic 11.
Accommodate the wrench tool so that it fits in the space.
2. Use a 5/16" open-ended wrench tool to turn the alignment
screw. See picture 12. Depending on how the refrigerator door
is misaligned in relation to the freezer door, you must turn the
screw to the right to raise or to the left to lower the refrigerator
door until both doors have been aligned vertically.
3. Tighten the 11/16" locking nut with the wrench tool.
4. Attach the base grille if it was dislodged.
