How do I go about replacing the front two rollers of this frig?
Reason: When new pushed unit to side and bent front rollers. Now lopsided, bent, digs/gouges floor does not roll flat on floor.
When I roll across floor the side/edge of the roller digs groves into kitchen floor.
If cannot be replaced or removed are there any other suggestions?
REALLY WANT TO REMOVE THEM!
Have found someone to try to match them.

Thanks for your consideration and assistance,

I believe you can just lean it back, but it is better to remove the food. Do not put the fridge on side or back due to oil in the cooling system must be down in the compressor. If you'll do it then you have to keep the refrigerator upright for at least 24 hours prior to plug it in.

Unfortunately I'm not certain how to do it with your model. Maybe somebody else on the forum can help you better.
