HOW TO TRANSFER THE DOOR HINGE LOCATION OF A
REVERSIBLE DOOR
Refer to the disassembly diagram and change the door hinges in the following procedure.
The numbers in the diagram (see back page) indicate the procedure order in the instructions.
t.Remove the hinge cap by twisting it off.
2.Remove the upper hexagonal head screws.
The upper hinge and the freezer door can now be removed.
3.Remove the middle hexagonal head screws. The refrigerator door can now be removed.
4.Remove the screws for middle hinge holes on the left side and
5.Tilt the refrigerator back or lay it on its back for steps 6, 7, and 8. Use a pad or blanket to protect the floor and to avoid scratching the painted finish.
6.Remove the leveling legs by turning them counterclockwise. Remove the lower hexagonal head screws, two on the hinge side and one near the front comer of the other side.
7.Attach the bottom hinge symmetrically to the other side of the cabineL
8.Attach the left side leg and leg spacer to the other side hole which was positioned
symmetrically.
9.Remove the plug buttons and insert them in the holes from which the screws were removed in Procedure 2.
10.Take off the hinge grommet caps from both the Freezer and the Refrigerator doors using a screwdriver and insert them in the hinge collars on the opposite sides.
l ]. Remove the freezer door hinge stopper and the hinge stopper screws and install them in the other side of the door.
] 2. Remove the refrigerator door hinge stopper and the screws and install them in the other side of the door.
! 3. Attach the refrigerator door to the bottom hinge.
14.Rotate the middle hinge 180. Attach it to the refrigerator door and secure it with a screw. (Do not tighten the screw completely.)
15.Attach the upper hinge to the freezer door. Attach the freezer door to the middle hinge and use the screw to attach the upper hinge.(Do not tighten the screws completely.)
16.The direction in which the door opens has now been changed;however, the following points should be checked:
a.Make sure the door is on straight.
b.Make sure that there is no space between the door gasket and the refrigerator unit itself when the door is closed.
c.Make sure that the gasket on the hinge side is not caught between the door and the unit when the door is opened or closed. (If the door is forced closed when the gasket is
caught, the gasket may be damaged.)
When checking the above points, if it is discovered that the door is not installed properly (this is apt to happen at the first try), loosen the screws holding the upper hinge, straighten the door and tighten the screws slowly with the socket wrench. After making sure that the door is installed correctly, tighten all the screws holding the hinge.
tf they are not tightened, the door may slip out of position or there may be an opening between the door and the unit.
17. Stand the unit back in the upright position.
