Abstract:
A household appliance including a non-adjustable first door, an adjustable second door, and an adjustable third door. The non-adjustable first door provides a reference point for adjusting each of the second door and the third door. A first adjustment device adjusts the second door in a vertical direction until one of a handle and a top edge of the non-adjustable first door and the second door are aligned at a same height. A second adjustment device adjusts the third door in a horizontal direction such that a first gap between the third door and the second door is equal to a second gap between the non-adjustable first door and the second door, and adjusts the third door in the first direction such that the third door is level and a bottom edge of the third door is aligned with a bottom edge of the second door.
