Refrigerator Leveling and Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable legs — one on each

side. The back of the refrigerator rests on two ﬁxed rollers. The

base grille covers the adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies

located at the bottom of the refrigerator below the refrigerator

door. Before making any adjustments, remove the base grille and

move the refrigerator to its ﬁnal location.

Tools Needed:

" hex driver, Phillips screwdriver

1. Remove the base grille screws. Grasp the grille ﬁrmly and

pull it toward you. Open the refrigerator door to access the

brake feet.

NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll more easily, raise

the brake feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front

rollers will be touching the ﬂoor.

2. Move the refrigerator to its ﬁnal location.

3. Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the

rollers are off the ﬂoor and both brake feet are snug against

the ﬂoor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when

opening the refrigerator door.

IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments

involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet

the same amount to keep the refrigerator level.

4. Make sure the door closes easily. If you are satisﬁed

with the door opening and closing, skip the next section.

If, however, the door does not close easily or the door pops

open, adjust the tilt.

To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator

takes some weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to

turn them.

■ Open the refrigerator door. Use a

" hex driver to turn both

brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will raise the

front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns to allow the

door to close more easily.

5. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems

unsteady or rolls forward when the door is pulled open,

adjust the brake feet.

To Steady the Refrigerator:

■ Open the refrigerator door. Using a

" hex driver, turn

both brake feet clockwise the same amount until the

brake feet are snug against the ﬂoor. Check again. If

not satisﬁed, continue to adjust the brake feet by half

turns of the screw until the refrigerator does not roll

forward when the door is opened.

6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with

the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille

into place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.

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, like the ﬂoor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds

seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and

what may be making them.

■ 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 compartment. The fan speed may increase as

you open the doors or add warm food.

■ Rattling noises may come from the ﬂow of refrigerant or items

stored on top of the refrigerator.

■ Water dripping on the defrost heater during a Defrost cycle

may cause a sizzling sound.

■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due

to the refrigerant ﬂowing in your refrigerator.

■ Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause

a popping noise.

■ You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the

condenser fan.

■ You may hear water running into the drain pan during the

Defrost cycle.
