Inside the freezer, remove the two small white plug buttons from the side wall.

Using the Phillips head screws that are with the mounting block, attach the mounting block to the refrigerator by driving the screws through the outer holes on

the block and into the holes that the plug buttons were in.

Install two self-tapping Phillips head screws (14) from the kit in the inner holes on the mounting block. On some models, the screws may already be in

place on the mounting block. The screw heads should extend about 1/2(13 mm) from the mounting block.
