How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work required. Use caution when tilting or moving the refrigerator.

Steps:

  • Level the refrigerator: Adjust front leveling legs until the unit is stable and does not rock when doors are opened or closed.
  • Check clearance: Ensure there is at least 1–2 inches of space between the refrigerator and adjacent walls or cabinets.
  • Stabilize rear: If the rear rollers are adjustable, set them so the unit sits firmly on all four corners.
  • Secure loose parts: Listen for internal rattles and tighten any loose shelves, bins, or panels.
