Remove the Fresh Food Door

Tape the door shut with masking tape.

Using a 5/16″hex-head socket screwdriver

and a 5/16″ open-end wrench, remove the

two screws holding the center hinge (and the

shim glued to it) to the cabinet. Lift the

center hinge to free its pin from the socket in

the top of the door, and set hinge and screws

aside.

Remove the tape and tilt the door away from the

cabinet. Lift the door from the pin in the bottom

hinge bracket. (If the plastic washer sticks to the

door bottom, put it back on the hinge.)

Set the door outside-up on a non-scratching

surface.

Using a Torxdriver, transfer the two screws from

the opposite side of the cabinet to the screw

holes vacated by the center hinge removal.

Take one of the screws removed in step 2 and

start it in the outermost screw hole on the

opposite side. Do not drive it all the way down—

leave enough space under the screw head for

thickness of shim and bracket.
