screws, and then pulling out on the outside corners.
See Graphic 1
.
NOTE: The doors must only be opened to 90°. If they are opened all
the way, the base grille will not come off.
3. Disconnect the water tubing, located behind the base grille on the
freezer door side. The dispenser tubing runs through the door hinge,
and must be disconnected in order to remove the door.
■ Style 1: Press the colored outer ring against the face of fitting and
pull the water tubing free.
See Graphic 2A

that runs underneath the freezer. The door cannot be removed if
the connector is still attached to the tube that runs through the
door hinge.
■ Style 2: Firmly pull on the clasp to release the tube, and then pull
the water tubing free.

7. Lift freezer door straight up off bottom hinge.
See Graphic 5
. The
water tubing and wiring remain attached to the freezer door and pull
through the bottom left hinge.
NOTE: This may require two people - one to lift the door and another
to feed the water tubing and wiring through the hinge. Be sure the hole
in the hinge is clear of obstructions, then gently pull one water tube
through the hinge. (Avoid kinking the tube.) Next, gently pull the other
water tube through the hinge, again avoiding kinks. Finally, gently pull
the wiring bundle (including the grommet and wiring plugs) through
the hinge.
IMPORTANT: Rest the door on its side on a soft, clean surface, such as
a towel, blanket or piece of cardboard. This will help avoid damaging
the door, water tubing and wiring.
