Removing and replacing the doors.
When installing or moving the refrigerator, the doors may need to be removed in order to fit the refrigerator through a doorway.
Safety
Removing the Doors
Make sure the doors are closed.
1 Disconnect water line and wiring harness.
Near the lower hinge on the freezer side, push in on the collars at each end of the coupling, and pull the water line tubing from the coupling. Also, disconnect wiring harness. Pull the water line and the harness through the lower rail.
2 Remove the hinge covers and the hinges.
In order to access the hinges, the hinge covers need to be removed. Remove the cover by grasping it on the sides, near the back of the cover. Push back on the cover and lift up at the back, then the front.
NOTE: DO NOT use a screwdriver to remove the cover. BE CAREFUL not to break the rear retaining tab on the hinge cover. Remove the hinges using a Torx
3 Remove the doors.
Carefully rotate the door to 90°. Guiding the disconnected water line and wiring harness, lift the door straight up.
NOTE: Not lifting the door straight up may damage the bottom hinge. Place doors on a protected surface.
NOTE: Be careful not to pinch the water tubing and the wire harness at the bottom of the door.
Replacing the Doors
1 Place doors on bottom hinges.
With the door at 90°, lower the door straight down onto the bottom hinge. Carefully close the door.
NOTE: Not lowering the door straight down onto the bottom hinge may damage the hinge.
2 Replace top hinges and hinge covers.
Reinstall the top hinges using a Torx
3 Reconnect water line and wiring harness.
Insert water tubing back into coupling, making sure the tubing is pushed far enough into the coupling so that you no longer see the mark on the tubing. Reconnect the wiring harness.
4 Turn on the water supply.
