Leveling Rollers
The rollers have 2 purposes:
The rollers can be adjusted so the refrigerator is
firmly positioned on the floor and does not rock
back and forth.
Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away
from the wall for cleaning.
To adjust the rollers, remove the base grille by pulling
it out at the bottom.
Turn the two front roller adjusting screws clockwise
to raise
the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower
it. Use a 3/8² socket wrench, adjustable wrench or
pliers.
Built-In Style models also have rear adjustable
rollers so you can align the refrigerator with your
kitchen cabinets. Use a 5/16² socket wrench to turn
the screws for the rear rollers—clockwise to raise it,
counterclockwise to lower it.
