2. Position the door so the mounting screw holes on top of
hinge are aligned.
3. Insert the four Torx ®† 27 flat-head mounting screws on top of
hinge. Make sure the spacing between the doors is the same
distance at the left and right.
4. Tighten the screws on the hinge.
Use the following steps to adjust door alignment if door
needs to be adjusted up or down.
1. Inspect spacing of the gap between the freezer drawer and
the refrigerator door. Make sure the spacing between the
doors is the same distance at the left and the right.
2. If the door gap is uneven, loosen the 4 Torx ®† 27 flat-head
mounting screws on top of the hinge. Loosen screws to the
point that the hinge is movable, but there is friction when
trying to move the hinge. Do not loosen the two ¹⁄₄" hex-head
mounting screws.
3. Adjust the hinge so that the door gap is the same distance on
the left as it is on the right. The hinge side distance should be
used as the template for the handle side.
