  • In this video I show you how to adjust the level of the refrigerator properly so the doors swing closed on their own. If the refrigerator is not correctly leveled you could also run into other issues like ice on the bottom of the freezer.
    This will work on all top freezer refrigerators by any manufacturer. The fridge in this video is a Frigidaire top freezer. Maytag, GE, Whirlpool and Samsung should have a very similar process of leveling.
    Here are some more refrigerator repair videos.

    Thanks! Quick fix for me--65 year old female. The maintenance guy said the doors not closing is because the refrigerator is new and he can't do anything. I knew better. Your video did the trick!

    Brilliant, our fridge doors now close on their own!
    something as simple as this I had no idea, thanks

    Thank you!!! Very helpful. As someone new to having a house, I also really appreciate that you went through EVERY step and the camera angle was fantastic. Many would skip over the simpler, easier, “common sense” type things such as popping the grill off at the bottom that would’ve tripped me up. Thank you again!!

    Thank you so much for this video! I knew about the leveling screw, but what I couldn't figure out was how to reach it until I saw you use the pry bar to jack the front up. Doh! Thanks for the tip!

    Amazing- thanks Bill, this helped with my frigidaire fridge that didn't close properly (because it was hitting the light switch control), was able to level with the bottom right screw / leveler. Good stuff, thanks

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! We got our new fridge two years ago, and the doors never closed on their own. Finally we got it fixed in just a few minutes!!! I was so tired of the constant fingerprints on the shiny silver finish from having to close the doors by hand.

    Hi Bill! Great video-I can’t wait to try this tomorrow in the daytime. Can you please also tell me where to find the video you mentioned before this one? You said this one is a follow up on a previous fridge troubleshooting/repair video you made. I tried to find the previous video and did watch the very cute one you made with your daughter. You’re so patient-such a nice dad. It was a pleasure to watch your wonderful parenting skills! Thanks!

    Useful information 👍 Recently I had a horrible experience with one reputed brand while convincing the service personnel about proper level adjustment to enable the door swing automatically.

    You should have been a school teacher. You were very precise on every step you were taking. Also when you say don't do this and don't do that, you give us the reason why not to.

    Thank you! I still haven't straightened the door on my fridge yet (I got burned trying to clear a clogged sink - don't ask - so my daughter said I'm not allowed to do any home improvement until the burns are healed ;) ), but I will get to it, and now I can level it at the same time. Is it the same kind of thing to level a new Whirlpool stove and a semi-ancient Roper washing machine?

    Once you do this though then you can't roll the frigerator out. It's not on the rollers anymore. I'm having a huge issue with my refrigerator not closing. This morning I woke up to find that my refrigerator had been open all night a crack. I accidentally did not close it hard enough, or check it to see if it was closed properly like I usually do, so it did not adhere tightly. Even when I did what you suggested I still wasn't getting a tight closure. The seal all around the refrigerator has been replaced so that is not the issue.

  • @BILSON220

    Bill, you kinda look like Ron Rivera.
    Also thanks for the vid, apparently my DIY landlord doesn't know how to install a refrigerator properly, and virtually everything else they have unprofessionally installed. Thanks!

  • @gregkash1712

    So my fridge door swings closed but the freezer does doesn’t (same fridge as in your video). If I adjust the feet to make the freezer door close then the fridge door closes aggressively hard and fast. Any thoughts how to adjust one of the two doors? Or is the freezer door not supposed to close on its own?

  • @mitch2k19
    @mitch2k19 3 года назад

    Cool ! close well now. But now, the lower door (freezer) is opening when the upper one is closing lol...lol.... is there another ajustment i have to do ???

  • @TheJulie169

    Is it bad if the fridge is tilting to far back? I have a really old kelvinator opal and the legs push down but I can't get them to lock in or find anything on RUclips to help explain how to lock them in. So I have wood blocks but I feel it's tilted back too much

  • @paulernandez5382
    @paulernandez5382 5 лет назад

    i HAVE AN UPRIGHT Frigidaire FFFU14F2QW , THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSING, ice is forming inside the freezer and gives me a "door ajar" beeping when it gets too bad, how could this be fixed? I followed all your instructions as far as leveling.

  • @johncasor9698
