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.

Removing the Doors

Make sure the doors are closed and the refrigerator is unplugged.

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.

Collars

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.	Hinge Cover

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 T-20.
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.

NOTE: Do not allow the connector to contact the floor. Hard contact can damage the connector. See “Replacing the Doors.”

Door

Replacing the Doors

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.

NOTE: Do not allow the connector to contact the floor. Hard contact can damage the connector.

Replace top hinges and hinge covers.

Reinstall the top hinges using a Torx T-20. Replace the hinge covers. If the doors are not level, adjust the bottom right hinge with a 7/16″ open ended wrench.

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.

Turn on the water supply and plug the refrigerator back in.

The GE 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29 series of locomotives represent a significant evolution in diesel-electric technology, showcasing General Electric's commitment to innovation and performance in the rail industry. These models, produced from the late 20th century to the early 21st century, are designed to meet a variety of operational needs.

The GE 21, introduced in the early 1990s, was notable for its efficiency and reliability. It utilized a 12-cylinder engine coupled with GE's innovative software systems, allowing for enhanced fuel economy and lower emissions. The locomotive's modular design enabled easy maintenance, which was a significant advantage for rail operators looking to minimize downtime.

Moving to the GE 23, this model offered increased power and improved traction systems, reflecting the industry's demand for stronger and faster trains. With an upgraded traction control system, the GE 23 provided better performance on challenging grades and under various load conditions. Its spacious cab and ergonomic controls also emphasized operator comfort and productivity.

The GE 25 built upon the successes of its predecessors, featuring advanced microprocessor controls and a more robust engine. This model was designed with higher horsepower, making it suitable for heavy freight operations. The GE 25’s aerodynamic design reduced drag, enhancing fuel efficiency during long hauls. Additionally, the locomotive included state-of-the-art diagnostic systems, allowing for real-time monitoring of performance metrics.

In the evolution of these series, the GE 27 introduced even more technological advancements, including improved lightweight materials and enhanced safety features. This model could accommodate various cargo types and was compatible with modern signaling systems, making it versatile for different rail networks. The GE 27 was designed with sustainability in mind, further reducing emissions and adhering to stricter environmental regulations.

Finally, the GE 29 series marked a major leap forward with the integration of cutting-edge digital technology. These locomotives featured predictive maintenance capabilities, allowing operators to foresee potential mechanical issues before they resulted in failures. The GE 29 series also placed a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, incorporating regenerative braking systems that harness energy during braking for reuse.

Overall, the GE 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29 locomotives reflect General Electric’s ability to innovate continually, combining power, efficiency, and advanced technology to meet the changing demands of the rail industry. Each model brought unique features and improvements, ultimately enhancing the performance and reliability of rail freight services.
