Adjust the Doors 1. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, raise or lower the cabinet. Using a 3/8"hex driver, turn the roller adjustment screw(s) on each side to raise or lower that side of the refrigerator. NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the adjustment screws and rollers. This makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take several turns of the roller adjustment screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator. • To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right. • To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left. 2= Turn the brake foot clockwise until it is firmly against the floor to keep the refrigerator from rolling forward when the freezer drawer is pulled open.
