I'd call the manufacturer and ask them if they have front castors with
a longer reach. If they do [or they point out what the installers
were doing wrong] I'd ask for a freebie- either the part, or the
'installers' come out and do what they should have done.

I can't imagine a kitchen floor being too far out of level for
refrigerator legs-- but I guess it can happen.


Perhaps he should be in the basement or crawlspace jacking up the
sagging floor.


Good point. OP, move the refirgerator before you try this.
