'Zactly, most appliances have leveling legs and they're explained in
the owner's manual; stoves, washing machines, clothes dryers, fridges,
etc. A fridge's adjusters are only in the front making it very easy
to adjust so the door closes properly. Years ago when the fridge
didn't have adjusters people shimmed up the front... can still do that
with a badly tilted floor.
