Door Height Adjustment

Use the following steps to adjust the door height, up or down,
after the doors have been leveled.

1. Open the freezer or refrigerator door. Remove the door stop

screw the bottom side of the bottom hinge.

2. Remove the locking plate as shown.

3. Turn the bushing located underneath the bottom of the hinge

using the open-end wrench. Turning the bushing to the left
(counterclockwise) will raise the door. Turning the bushing
right (clockwise) will lower the door.

4. After adjusting, check the doors to make sure they are even

at the top and bottom. If the doors are not even, continue to
turn the bushing to adjust the door height.

5. Replace the locking plate.

6. Turn the bushing slightly to align the hinge and locking plate

screw holes.

7. Replace the door stop screw or screws and tighten.

8. Recheck to make sure the doors are aligned and even.

Door Swing Adjustment

1. Check that the refrigerator door can open freely. If the door

opens too wide or you are installing full-overlay custom
panels using a Trimless Trim Kit, you should adjust the door
swing.

2. Remove the door stop screw or screws (depending on your

model) from the bottom hinge. See “Door Height Adjustment”
earlier in this section.

3. Hold the door open to a position that is less than 90°.
