- We all hate when the doors of our refrigerator is uneven. This video quickly shows you how to align the doors so they match. We walk through the process for both a side by side refrigerator and a French door refrigerator.
When your kitchen is looking beautiful and then you notice the doors on your fridge is not aligned. What do you do? This is actually more than just a door alignment issue your refrigerator my have a leveling problem that might be affecting the performance and energy efficiency of one of the most used appliances in your home.
First: What potential issues are there when your refrigerator is not level? It is more than just uneven doors that just looks bad. One of the biggest worries is the coolant in the fridge may not work property if the fridge is not level. When a fridge is not level the coolant can pool in the pipes on one side. That mean your refrigerator is working overtime to keep your food preserved and cool. (What that means: It is costing you more money) This can also affect the ice maker because the defrost cycle may not function as it should.
What do you do if your refrigerator is not level? First get a small/simple leveling devise. (any level will do) and check to see where your fridge is off. Most appliance manufactures suggest the the front of a fridge is about 1/4 inch higher then the back, but when going from side to side it should be 100% level.
Many time a fridge is not level because your floor is uneven. How do you adjust the fridge? Every fridge has leveling feet or adjustable wheels. It is important to know how to adjust those which can be very simple. You might need a couple of common tools. A wrench or screwdriver might be needed.

New fridge, denied door. They replaced door and left...then we realized the doors are not aligned evenly. Your video was perfect! A quick 2 minute fix. Thanks, Andy in Florida
This helped fix one of my doors that was not sealing properly. Thank you
😂.. It is not coolant. It's refrigerant! Doors not being level: will cause a drain issue and / or cause the doors to not seal, which will drain in room air. Causing snowcone ice in the freezer component or condensation type water in the fresh food component. Very nice video. You just need to correct the information about the refrigerant.
This just worked for me! GE side by side. Thank you SO much!!!
We're glad we could help! Thanks for watching!
Wow amazing. Thank you for such an informative video!!!
I hope this fixes my less than 2 month LG French door refrigerator that apparently likes to freeze pitchers of water and gallons of milk and just about everything else 😩🤣
thank you so much!!! I did it all by myself, atta girl!
I have that exact same GE fridge shown first in the video. I noticed you say only the right door is adjustable. Unfortunately my left door is the one that needs to be adjusted. How can I go about fixing this?
Thank you so much! This did the trick and we got it all evened up!
I have a Whirlpool wrf535smbm00 French door fridge. The vertical hinge is not going into the guide and closing properly due to the left door sagging. My model lacks the height adjustment bolt (rather just has a pin beneath the closure cam). What would a recommended fix be? TY!
Thanks for doing the French doors. I was concerned that it wasn't correct previously.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Yeah well GE at least in my case had a good feature with the 7/16 wrench to level the door but as dishwashers have four cornering leveling so should refrigerators. N/S E/W leveling should be a standard on any appliance like a refrigerator. I used a shim the get the left rear correct on the GE but that should not be necessary. Seems according to the manual it's only available on the "Custom" models. 2 dollar savings for GE, shame really.
Thank you! Great video
Thank you! Good as new!
Awesome!! Thanks for the fix!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching :)

This video helped me to align my doors!
Glad we could help!
Thank you good info
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
hello there and thank you so much for the video , today when i check mine i noticed that both sides the abjusting screws are very damage and cant move then, is there any other way to do the fix? keep up the great channel u have.
Thank you!!
The doors on my new GE fridge were level at first but now are off after just 2 weeks. Also the door squeaks from the bottom. I do not put any milk containers in the door shelves just smaller items, so that weight isn't causing it. Will check with a level and proceed as necessary. Side note, when I hooked the water up I then saw the label to make sure the ice maker is in the OFF position before hooking up the water. Mine was in the ON position. Why can't the factory workers make sure that it is turned off for the customer?? Then slap some of that blueish tape over the control to hold it there. It's not like they don't have that tape placed everywhere else for the customer to remove.
Same here GE model , doors not level and same squeak did you get it fixed or find the problem ?
@@shanehockey28 tried some white lithium grease on the lower hinge and thought it was fixed but it only lasted about 2-3 days. i have the 3 year warranty but have not called on the issue as of yet.
Thank you for this
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching: )
Thanks man that's easy
You're welcome! Thank you for watching :)
I've a mfw2055frz03 Maytag fridge. The manual is very unclear about how to remove the panel to access the adjustment feet. I see no screws and i pulled firmly and the access panel didn't come off. Any suggestions?
seems weird they want the fridge tilted slightly back rather than just making the internal components tilted slightly.
coolant?
Shouldn't door leveling be done at the factory? If you saw a car with uneven doors, you wouldn't purchase it. Shows bad quality control.
Many Times Doors are uneven because or our floors we place them on. Many floors are uneven which cause the doors to look uneven so this allows you to adjust them. Thanks for the comment.
Sometimes you have to remove the doors to get the refrigerator in the door and reattach once inside.
Hiow does adjust the leveling feet that makes no contact with the top french doors adjust the doors themselves? This doesn't make physical sense to me, but I could be wrong.
I'm also perplexed. Wished it made sense re: the top and bottom of the French Doors only.
Unlevel fridge and uneven doors are 2 different things w/ different fixes. Kinda confusing. My Kenmore Pro does not appear to have adjustable doors. 😕
Lol... if your refrigerator is leaning 15° you have more problems than coolant not circulating.
why do we have to keep doing this..weve done it 3-4 times now
They should put a hook on the side of my GE refrigerator so I can hold a wrench there as I need it often
Those are pliers bruv
It sure would have been helpful to explain that turning to the right raises or lowers the door and turning to the left does the opposite.
Dude, common sense. Or lack thereof
