Bottom Door Hinge
For your convenience, the refrigerator doors have bottom hinges
with door closers. These closers allow the doors to swing fully
closed with just a gentle push.
IMPORTANT: So that the closers feature will operate properly,
the doors must be removed only when open to a 90° angle to the
front of the cabinet. If one or both doors were not at a 90° angle
when removed, the bottom door hinge must be reset.
Reset the Door Hinge
1. Lift the door from the bottom hinge pin, and place it on a
at surface.

with the bushing from the cabinet.

bottom of the door.
