INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Style 2 - Firmly pull up on the clasp. Then, pull the tubing out
of the fitting.
NOTE: The water dispenser tubing remains attached to the
left-hand refrigerator door.
3. Disconnect the wiring plug located on top of the door hinge.
Grasp each side of the wiring plug. With your left thumb,
press down to release the catch and pull the sections of
the plug apart.
NOTE: Do not remove the green, ground wire. It should
remain attached to the door hinge.
4. Using the ³⁄₁₆" hex key wrench, remove the two internal hex
head screws from the top hinge, and set aside.
NOTES:
Provide additional support for the refrigerator door while
the hinges are being removed. Do not depend on the door
gasket magnets to hold the door in place while you are
working.
Do not remove the two locator screws. These screws will
help you align the hinge when you replace the door.
5. Lift the refrigerator door from the bottom hinge pin. The top
hinge will come away with the door.
NOTE: It may not be necessary to remove the bottom hinges
and brake feet assemblies to move the refrigerator through a
doorway.
Only if necessary, use a driver with a #2 square bit tip to
remove the bottom hinges and a ³⁄₈" nut driver to remove
the brake feet screws.

2. Insert the top hinge pin into the open hole in the top of the
