Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - How to Align French Doors
Door alignment or adjustment can be done on all French-Door, Bottom-Freezer refrigerators that are labeled "Assembled in the USA" on the rating plate. If the doors are uneven on a French-Door, Bottom-Freezer model, use the bottom fresh food door hinges to align them following the below instructions:
-
Locate the adjusting screws found on the underside of the fresh food doors of the refrigerator. You can refer to the Owner's Manual/Installation Instructions for the exact location.
-
Using a 1/4” or 4 mm wrench, turn the door adjusting screw to the right to raise the door or to the left to lower it. A nylon plug, embedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the pin from turning unless a wrench is used.
-
After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close the refrigerator door and check the alignment at the top of the doors.
-
If necessary, repeat the above steps until the doors are aligned.
