Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTES
When reversing the door swing:
• Read the instructions all the way through before
starting.
• Tighten all hinge screws but avoid over-tightening to
prevent stripping.
• Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching paint.
• Set screws down by their related parts to avoid
losing them.
• Provide a non-scratching work surface for the doors.
CAUTION
Lifting Hazard
The Fresh Food and Freezer doors are heavy. Use
both hands to secure the doors before lifting.
IMPORTANT: Once you begin, do not move the
cabinet until door-swing reversal is completed.
These instructions are for changing the hinges from
the right side to the left side—if you ever want to
change the hinges back to the right side, follow these
same instructions and reverse all references to left
and right.
BEFORE YOU START
1. Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.
2. Empty all door shelves, including the dairy
compartment.
IMPORTANT: Do not let either door drop to the floor.
To do so could damage the door stop.
3. Remove the front grille if it
is installed.
REMOVING THE DOORS
1. Tape the freezer door shut with masking tape.
2. Remove the hinge cover and screws that hold the
top hinge to the cabinet.
3. Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from
the socket in the top of the door and set it aside,
along with its screws.
4. Remove the tape. Lift the door off the center hinge
pin and set the door on a non-scratching surface with
the outside up.
5. Unscrew center hinge pin. Be sure to retain plastic
washer(s) for reinstallation. Remove refrigerator
door from bottom hinge and set the door on a non-
scratching surface with the outside up.
6. Use either a wrench or T25 Torx screwdriver to
remove center hinge and plastic spacer(s) by
unscrewing center bolt, loosening side bolts and sliding
hinge to the center of the cabinet. Tighten bolts back
into place and replace the center bolt.
7. Remove the center bolt on the opposite side and
loosen side bolts. Flip the center hinge and spacer
over so the placement of the hinge pin will be toward
the outside. Slide center hinge and spacers behind
side bolts. Reinstall center bolt and tighten side bolts.
