Door Alignment

Freezer Door

If the door of the appliance is not level, adjust the difference in the height of the appliance door.

  • Open the door and use the wrench a to loosen the keeper nut by turning it to the left.

  • Use the wrench b to adjust the height by turning the adjustment hinge pin to the left or to the right.

    Caution
    • Do not adjust the height of the appliance door more than 3 mm.

  • Use the wrench a to fasten the keeper nut by turning it to the right.

Note
  • Leveling the doors may not be possible when the floor is not level, or is of weak or poor construction.

  • The refrigerator is heavy and should be installed on a rigid, flat and solid surface.

  • Some timber flooring may cause leveling difficulties if it flexes excessively.

Left Refrigerator Door

Open the refrigerator door and use the wrench c to rotate the door hinge bolt.

Caution
  • The door is heavy. To avoid injury, use two or more people to lift and align the refrigerator door.

Right Refrigerator Door

Note
  • Adjust the left refrigerator door first.

The C-clip(snap ring) may differ depending on the model.

  • Type A

    If the door is too low, lift the right door up and use a pair of long nose pliers to insert C-clips until both doors are level.

  • Type B

    If the door is too low, lift the right door up and insert only one C-clip with the proper thickness.

    • If a C-clip is already inserted on the middle hinge, remove the C-clip before inserting a new C-clip.

Caution
  • The door is heavy. To avoid injury, use two or more people to lift and align the refrigerator door.

  • Small parts are a swallowing hazard for small children. Keep C-clips out of the reach of children.
