10Removing the Doors
Getting through narrow spaces
If your refrigerator will not fit through an entrance area, you can remove the doors. Check first by measuring the entrance.
To prepare for removing the doors:
1Make sure the electrical power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.
2Open the freezer drawer and remove the toe grille (see “Installation” section).
3Remove any food from the door shelves and close the doors.
To remove the top hinge covers:
1Remove the two (2) screws from each cover over the top door hinges.
2Lift inside edge of hinge cover and tilt back.
To remove the refrigerator doors:
1Trace lightly around the door’s top hinges with a pencil. This makes reinstallation easier.
2Disconnect the harness by grasping both sides of the connector firmly, depress the latch, and pull apart. Remove the two (2) screws from the top hinge. Lift the door off of the bottom hinge and set it aside.
NOTE |
3Detach the water tube from the connector located behind the refrigerator and pull the tube back out to the front of the unit. The connector releases when you press inward on the outer sleeve while pushing the tube toward the connector then while continuing to hold in the sleeve, pull the tube away.
DO NOT remove the ground screw from hinge.
