Refrigerator Doors
Depending on the width of your doorway, you may need to
remove the doors to move the refrigerator into your home. Also,
the door hinges are factory-installed on the right-hand side. If you
want the door to open from the other direction, you must reverse
the door swing.
IMPORTANT:
■ Before you begin, turn OFF the refrigerator control. Unplug
refrigerator or disconnect power. Remove food and adjustable
door or utility bins from doors.
■ If you are only removing and replacing the doors, see the
“Remove Doors and Hinges” and “Replace Doors and
Hinges” sections.
■ All graphics referenced in the following instructions are
included later in this section after “Final Steps.”
Tools Needed: ⁵⁄₁₆" Hex-head socket wrench, ⁵⁄₁₆" Open-end
wrench, #2 Phillips screwdriver, Flat 2" putty knife, Flat-blade
