Installation Instructions
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING (CONT.)
13. Flip the middle hinge 180°. Insert the hinge pin
into the hinge hole on the top of the fresh food
door, making sure the spacer(s) and thick washer
are in place. Attach the hinge to the cabinet with
the middle hex head screws. (Do not tighten the
screw completely.)
CAUTION: If the door gasket rubs or interferes with
middle hinge, remove washers on bottom hinge, one
at a time, until there is no interference.
14. Position the freezer door on the middle hinge
pin. Insert the hinge pin from the top hinge
into the hinge hole on the top of the freezer
door, making sure the washer is in place. Attach
the hinge to the top of the cabinet with the
upper hex head screws. (Do not tighten the
screws completely.)
15. The door swing reversal is now complete. Before
tightening screws on the top and middle hinges,
check the following:
• Make sure both doors are on straight.
• Make sure that there is no space between the
door gaskets and the refrigerator unit itself
when the doors are closed.
• Make sure that 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.)
16. Tighten all screws and replace the top
hinge cover.
The numbered steps below correspond to the
numbers in the illustration on the previous page.
1. Lift off the hinge cover.
2. Remove the upper hex head screws and lift off
the upper hinge and washer(s). Set these parts
aside for reinstallation later. The freezer door
can now be removed.
3. Remove the middle hex head screws and lift off
the middle hinge, spacer(s) and thick washer.
Set these parts aside for reinstallation later.
The fresh food door can now be removed.
Tilt the refrigerator back or lay it on its side
for steps 4, 5 and 6. Use a pad or blanket to
protect the floor and to avoid scratching the
painted finish.
4. Remove the lower hex head screws holding the
bottom hinge in place. Then remove the leveling
leg by turning it counterclockwise.
5. On the opposite side, remove the leveling leg
and spacer by turning the leg counterclockwise.
Remove the lower hex head screw that was next
to the leveling leg. Install the leveling leg, spacer
and screw on the opposite side.
6. Attach the bottom hinge to the opposite side
using the lower hex head screws and the leveling
leg. Stand the refrigerator upright.
7. Remove the upper hinge plug buttons and insert
them into the holes from which the screws were
removed in Step 2.
8. Remove the middle hinge plug buttons and
insert them into the holes from which the screws
were removed in Step 3.
9. Remove the hinge caps using a thin flat blade
screwdriver and insert them into the hinge holes
on the opposite side.
10. Remove the freezer door hinge stopper and
install it in the other side.
11. Remove the fresh food door hinge stopper and
the hinge stopper screws and install them on the
other side.
12. Position the fresh food door on the bottom
hinge.
When checking the above points, if it is discovered
that the doors are not installed properly (this is apt
to happen at the first try), loosen the screws holding
the upper and middle hinges, straighten the doors
and tighten the screws slowly with the socket wrench.
After making sure that the doors are installed
correctly, tighten all the screws holding the hinges.
If they are not tightened, the doors may slip out of
position or there may be an opening between the
doors and the unit.
