If unit is properly installed, blocked and leveled, it may still be necessary to adjust the door(s) from left to right and/or in and out. Adjustments are performed at the top and/or bottom door hinge(s). In each door hinge are two small Phillips head shipping screws that will need to be removed and discarded before adjustments are made. The remaining larger door hinge screws are then loosened, allowing door adjustment from left to right and/or in and out (Figure 2-21). After adjusting the door, the door hinge screws are tightened back down and the door seal checked for proper gasket sealing.
NOTE: If a side-by-side unit is properly installed and leveled, and the doors properly adjusted yet one door lines up higher than the other, a bottom hinge spacer (part no. 0183100) is available. The door hinge screws of the lower door hinge are loosened and the hinge spacer(s) inserted between the bottom door trim and the bottom door hinge (Figure 2-22). This will raise the door slightly. The door hinge screws are then tightened back down. Bottom hinge spacer (part no. 0183100) will NOT work on over-and-under units.
