Remove the front base cover to expose the wheels and you will see adjustment screws, turn the screws with a screwdriver until it lowers to height required.

The rear wheels are fixed to the lowest possible position so the fridge can move without scratching the floor. The front wheels can be lowered approximately ½’’. She should have no problem.
