To remove doors from hinges:

1.Open the refrigerator door and remove the base grille from the bottom front of the refrigerator. (See “Base Grille” section.)

2.Close the refrigerator door and keep both doors closed until you are ready to lift them free from the cabinet.

NOTE: Do not depend on the door magnets to hold the doors in place while you are working. Provide additional support for the doors while the hinges are being moved.

3.Remove the screws and components for the top hinge as shown.

4.Lift the freezer door free from the cabinet.

5.Remove the freezer door stop from the bottom of the freezer door as shown in the Center Hinge illustration. Replace the door stop on the opposite side of the freezer door.

NOTE: Be sure to place the door stop in the correct position, using the hole nearest the front of the door.

6.Remove the screws and components for the center hinge as shown.

7.Lift the refrigerator door free from the cabinet.

8.Remove the refrigerator door stop from the bottom of the refrigerator door as shown in the Bottom Hinge illustration. Replace the refrigerator door stop on the opposite side of the refrigerator door.

NOTE: If the doors are not closing on their own, see the “Door Closing and Alignment” section.

9.Be sure to fill all openings with either the proper screws or hole plugs. Moisture will enter any unfilled opening.
