Remove the screw attaching the hinge pin to the hinge.
Turn the hinge over so that it is pointing in the opposite
direction.
Place the plastic spacer beneath the hinge so that it will
be between the hinge and the cabinet, making sure the
holes are aligned.
Fasten the top hinge to the opposite side of the cabinet,
inserting the screws only halfway, so you will be able to
replace and align the freezer door later.
5. Line up the doors so that the bottom of the freezer door aligns
evenly with the top of the refrigerator door. Tighten all screws.
NOTE: The distance between the doors should be
approximately ⁵⁄₈" (16 mm).
