UD-35 SERVICE UPDATE FIRST HALF—2009 - Whirlpool

CABINET & DOOR ISSUES
DOORS OUT OF ALIGNMENT –SXS & FDBM
Condition: Doors are not aligned at top, RC or FC door is higher. RC is pre-set to
be 1.5mm higher than FC at factory, under assumption food load will level them out.
•
Service Fix:
-Check door gaps between RC and FC at top and bottom.
If door out of align and gaps are uneven, loosen hinge screws for door that
is lower, pull top of door toward hinge and hold as you re-tighten the hinge
screws. See figure 1
-If gaps are even or parallel, take clip off of bottom hinge bushing and use
wrench to raise and lower door height. A combination of raising one door
and lowering another should be enough to fix most door alignment issue. Be
sure to check door seal after adjustment. See figure 2

Right to left – Each door has 10mm, (.4 inches) of total movement right to left. However,
this varies the height by 3mm. There should be a gap of approx. 6mm, (.2
inches) between doors. The top hinge has enough right movement to move too far
to the right causing light switch arm to hit side trim, so always check for interference
when done adjusting. No left right movement in bottom hinge.
Up and down – The bushing on the bottom hinge allows for 10mm, (.4 inches) of
adjustment.
In and out – Top hinge tap plate allows for 5.5mm, (.2 inches) of in and out movement.
No bottom hinge movement.
