This appliance has the capability of the doors opening from either the left or the
right side. The unit is delivered to you with the doors opening from the left side.
Should you desire to reverse the opening direction, follow the directions and
diagram below. The numbers in the diagram indicate the procedure order in the
instructions. If you have a problem, call Customer Service at 1-800-932-4267.
Reversing the Door Swing
1. Remove the hinge cap by twisting it off.
2. Remove the upper hexagonal head screws. The top hinge and the freezer
door can now be removed.
3. Remove the middle hexagonal head screws. The middle hinge and the
refrigerator door can now be removed.
4. Remove the cover for middle hinge holes and re-attach it symmetrically to
the holes on the other side.
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
corner of the other side.
7. Attach the bottom hinge symmetrically to the other side of the cabinet with
the screws removed in procedure 6. (Do not tighten the screws completely.)
8. Attach the left side leg and the leg spacer to the other side hole which was
positioned symmetrically.
9. Remove the upper hinge plastic pins and insert them in the holes from which
the screws were removed in step 2.
10. Take off the hinge collar caps from both the Freezer and the Refrigerator
doors using a screwdriver and insert them in the hinge collars on the
opposite side.
11. Attach the shaft to the hinge bottom. Attach the refrigerator door to the shaft.
12. Rotate the middle hinge 180°. Attach it to the refrigerator door and secure it
with screws. (Do not tighten the screws completely.)
13. Attach the upper hinge to the freezer door. Attach the freezer door to the
middle hinge and use the screws to attach the upper hinge. (Do not tighten
the screws completely.)
14. The direction in which the door opens has now been changed; however, the
following points should be checked:
a. The door is on straight.
b. There is no space between the door gasket and the refrigerator unit itself
when the door is closed.
c. 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.)
