Adjust Door Hinges
Check to make sure the doors are properly adjusted. If
not, adjust the top and bottom hinges. The hinges are
slotted for side-to-side movement. First remove the small
Phillips screw on the door hinge, which is in-board on the
hinge, and throw it away. Adjust the upper and lower
hinges by loosening the three large Torx screws. Tighten
the screws after the doors are adjusted. Door handles can
be adjusted to level top handle trim. The doors are slotted
for handle alignment.
