Installation Instructions
REMOVE THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR
3
Tape the door shut with masking tape.
Remove the plastic washer, center hinge pin
and door thimble with the 3/8 (10mm) socket
ratchet/driver.
Remove the tape and tilt the door away from the
refrigerator. Tilt the door and lift to free its bottom
socket from the pin in the bottom hinge bracket.
Ensure that the door thimble remains on the hinge
pin or inside door hinge pin hole located in the
bottom of the doors.
Set the door on a non-scratching surface with the
inside up.
CAUTION: Do not let door drop to the floor.
To do so could damage the door stop.

TRANSFER CENTER HINGE
BRACKET TO THE LEFT
Remove the center hinge bracket with a Phillips
screwdriver.
On some models, you will need to remove the caps
from the screw heads before you can remove the
screws. Use the edge of a thin blade to gently pry the
caps off the screw heads. (A putty knife works well for
this.) Cover the blade with tape to prevent scratching
the paint.
Remove the three Phillip’s screws from the center
left side of the refrigerator. Screw them into the
holes on the right side. Replace the caps by
snapping them over the screws with your finger.
Place the center hinge bracket over the holes at
the center left side of the refrigerator. Insert and
tighten the three screws.
