STEP 8 REPLACE REFRIGERATOR
DOORS
Reverse steps 1 through 4 to reinstall refrigerator,
follow details below for critical alignments.
A.
Reinstall center hinge first and
torque the inner, larger 8mm hex
head screws to 65 in-lbs (7.34
N-m) and small screw to 25
in-lbs (2.82 N-m). Rotating the
screw by 1/3 turn after it is flush
with mating surface will achieve
these torques.
B. If the hinge on your refrigerator has
a slot that looks like image B on
the right, follow the steps below.
Otherwise, skip to step C.
With the LH door at 90º + to the front of the
case, lower the refrigerator door. Ensure
the door and hinge align correctly. Rotate door closed
and make sure moveable center sealing portion of the
door aligns with the striker. If door cannot be installed at
90º, follow these next steps. Install door at 90º to case
front. If space or model limits opening door to less than
180º, remove door and carefully turn door upside down.
Check alignment of the door. There is an alignment mark
on the door closure mechanism that corresponds to an
alignment mark on the bottom end cap. Rotate door
closure mechanism to align mark and arrow.
C. If the hinge on your refrigerator does not have
a slot and looks like image C on the right, then
simply lower the outer hole of the door on the hinge
D. Securely tape the door shut with masking tape or
have a second person support the door.
E. Follow the same procedure to install the opposite
door. There are no wires, water lines or center hinge
covers on the opposite door.
