Maytag side by side refrigerator. lowered the rear of the machine using the adjustment screws. went to raise the rear back up, it seems that the screw turn and turn but the machine has not raised.

On the cabinet bottom front right near the bottom door hinges you should see the adjusting screw for the front wheels. On most refrigerators only the front can be raised or lowered. Back wheels are usually stationary. Also you don't want the refrigerator level. It should have some tilt or slope front to back (front higher than back). This tilt helps the doors to self close from a 45 degree angle.

Hello Joe;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

This was your first time setting the gap between the doors. So, I will share with you the various ways to adjust the doors gap.

1.) On the bottom of some doors there are adjustment screws for pitching the door left or right to set the gap. This was a good design idea, but there is not locking nut to hold the setting. Opening and closing the door will remove the setting. So, if you have these adjust screws, we will forget them.

2.) Lets try this: Adjust the front leveling bolts. Loosen the top of the door hinges. If the gap is smaller at the top, lower the leveling bolt up on the left hand side. Turn the bolt counter clockwise to raise. Pound on the doors to free them to adjust. If the gap is smaller on the bottom, on the right jacking screw, raise the jack bolt by turning the jack bolt clockwise. Once again, pound on the door to free for the adjustment. Then tighten to top door hinges.

3.) OK, This did not set the gap. The gap between the door is different depending on the model. Determine the gap which you would like to set. Using something solid like pieces of wood (do not use cardboard it will crush), loosen the top hinges, evenly space the wedges and tape them to the door. Now tighten the top hinges and remove the wedges.

4.) Ok, This did not set the gap. Look on the bottom of the door at the hinge. You have a matching set of grommets. These grommets interlock when the doors close to keep the doors closed. These are high wear components. The doors rest on these components. One grommet set may be more warn than the other affecting the door gap

Thank you for your inquiry, Leland Dodd!

I see that you are having difficulty in raising the level on your Frigidaire refrigerator, FGHC2331PF. I have reviewed your manual and there are two types of adjustment for either front rollers or lower hinge. If you are having issues with adjusting the doors or leveling your refrigerator I would recommend having a professional technician out to properly level your refrigerator. Best of luck! -Matt

If you notice one side of your Maytag side-by-side refrigerator is significantly higher than the other, you might want to raise or lower one of the doors. The refrigerator door is configured at the factory to be slightly higher than the freezer door. The weight of items on the door shelves sometimes cause the doors to sag slightly inward. Making a small adjustment to the freezer door leveling screws will correct minor amounts of sagging.

Position the refrigerator in the place you plan to keep it, and make sure the refrigerator is level front to back and side to side with a spirit level.

2 Remove the base grille, located below the doors, by pulling from the sides. The leveling screws will be visible when the grille is removed.

normally the rear are just rollers
for your problem use tapered door wedges ( hardware shop) under the appropriate side at the rear of the fridge to make the adjustment

Hello,
Yes typically the rear wheels can be raised/lowered by adjusting the screws as shown in this link,

item#29 is what ya turn to adjust the rear wheels,open that link then click view full size again to see where they are

Looking at the Diagram at the link below it would appear that the only was to remove it while keeping everything else in place would be either.

1) The left hand side (looking from the back) but I'm presuming that this is the side of the refrigerator and therefore solid,

2) The front by disconnecting the discharge tube (Item 10) from the Condensor (Item 15)

I'll look for a copy of the Service Manual and let you know what I can find.

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

The fact of the matter of the doors being at different heights is typically an indication the unit isn't level and can be simply corrected by way of screwing the legs/wheels up or down.

If you remove the grill below the doors you should see the wheels and the adjustment screws/bolts. #2 is the wheel, # 3 & 5 are the adjustment screws to raise or lower the unit.

i.e.



They are typically a 5/16" or 3/8" hex head/slotted combination. Try adjusting one or the other with small adjustments until you notice the two doors starting to level to each other.

Let me know how you manage and I'll try to help you in any manner i can going forward. Good luck.

Thank you for choosing FixYa today.

Macmarkus :)

if you remove the front lower kick panel there are screws on each side that lower and raise the wheels at the bottom, turn screws to adjust level, I think it is a 5/16 head bolt

you might lower the front ones to get it level thats the only sloution i can come up with
