Door Alignment

These updated instructions replace the information included in the

Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual, User Instructions, or Use & Care Guide.

A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to have

doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear this way,

check the leveling using the instructions in the Installation

Instructions and Owner’s Manual, User Instructions, or Use & Care

Guide.

The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the

refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food that

will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned after

checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with food, follow

the steps below to adjust the door alignment.

Gather the required tools and read all instructions before making

adjustments.
