Installing Fridge and Freezer next to each other

[ColinR11]

According to the user manual it's possible to install a Side by Side combination with Samsung Models starting
with R Z**,RR**. I have a Samsung RR82PDMH & RZ80FDMH and am trying to mount them side-by-side. I am using a joining strip and with the fridge on the right (as you look at it) and the freezer on the left. I can see that if I put a level on the body of the fridge it is upright but the door appears to be leaning to the left. It is similar with the freezer door which leans the other way. Consequently when i follow the instructions laid out in the manual and close the doors the handles collide, not good!!

I have measured the gaps between the edge of the frame of the machine and the edges of the doors, which are as follows:

		Freezer		Fridge
Measurement	Position	Left		Right
		left	right	left	right
gap frame to door edge	top	6mm	4.5mm	3.5mm	7mm
	bottom	5mm	5.5mm	5mm	5.5mm

Common sense would suggest all i need to do is adjust the doors to even the gaps, leaving the bigger space (5.5mm) on the left of the fridge and right of the freezer. However, I cannot see where I can adjust the doors. Has anyone come across this problem? or could you point me in the direction of a solution?

we seem to have similar issue the freezer door doesn't line up with fridge door, the freezer door is higher , but the actual units are level.
any ideas on how to remedy this

Did you manage to work out how to fix this? ANd where did you get the joining strip from?

[John2213]

No this didn't get sorted and we just live with it not being level.
Joining stuff comes with the fridge and freezer

We had exactly the same problem!! The doors can be adjusted through adjusting the hinges, how to access these is documented in the manual. However you may well need to drill out the hinge mounting holes to gain enough adjustment.
