Doors and Door Hinges

IMPORTANT: The freezer door is not adjustable. The fresh food door can be adjusted up and down to match the height of the freezer door. Adjust the fresh food door up or down using the hinge adjustment pin (located on the fresh food lower door hinge).

The fresh food and freezer lower door hinges are equipped with replaceable cam risers. Cam risers assist in door closure.

When the fresh food door is adjusted too high, the cam riser will not be engaged. If the cam riser is not engaged, the door will not close properly. Refer to the Fresh Food Door Adjustment section in this chapter for more information.

IMPORTANT: The refrigerator rollers must be adjusted correctly to ensure proper door closure. Refer to the Roller Assembly section in this chapter for more information.

Door Removal

1.Remove the upper hinge cover by removing the Phillips screw.

2.With the door in the closed position, disconnect the wiring harness (freezer side only).
