- Reverse each door handle and put the lower door handle
on the upper door and the upper door handle on the lower
door.
- Attach each door handle with a cap screw [9] and screws
[12].
- Put the plastic cap into the hole that is opposite the upper
hinge of the upper door.
4. Reinstall the doors (See Art00986):
- Make sure each hinge bushing [13] is in the correct
position.
- Put each hinge bushing into the bottom side of each
door hinge.
- Put each door in the position on the refrigerator.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the threads of the hinge pins,
turn the hinge pins by hand until tight and then
tighten with a screwdriver.
CAUTION: Apply Loctite removable thread locker (blue)
to the threads of the hinge screws before assembly to
prevent loosening during use. Do not allow Loctite to
contact any of the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator
because it can damage those surfaces.
- Align the hinges and put the hinge pins into each door.
- Tighten the hinge pins.
- Put the storage bins in the doors.
The ice maker is assembled to the refrigerators at the factory as
optional equipment. If the refrigerator does not have a factory
installed ice maker, one can not be added to the refrigerator at a
later time.
The refrigerator installer must connect a cold water supply line
to the solenoid valve at the rear of the refrigerator. The following
are necessary to connect the icemaker:
- 1/4 in. OD copper tubing for the water supply line.
OR
- 1/4 in. OD plastic tubing for the water supply line.
Connect the Ice Maker
(N64XIM, N64XIMXX, N84XIM, and
N84XIMXX models)
- 1/4 in. shut off valve in the water supply line. This should be
easily accessible through the lower intake vent.
Connect the water supply line:
Install a 1/4 in. OD water supply line [1] from the water shut off
valve of the vehicle to the solenoid water valve [2] at the rear of
the refrigerator (See Art01014):
NOTE: A brass compression nut [1], a brass sleeve, a plastic
sleeve [2] , and a brass insert [3] are supplied and
attached to the rear of the refrigerator (See Art01604).
- Put the compression nut and then the sleeve onto the water
supply line [4].
- For copper tubing, use the brass sleeve.
- For plastic tubing, use the plastic sleeve [2].
- For plastic tubing with .040 in. wall thickness, also use
the brass insert [3].
- Flush the water supply line until the water is clear.
- Put the tubing into the adapter [5] until it is against the stop
of the adapter.
- Tighten the compression nut by hand (hard finger tight).
- Using two wrenches, tighten the compression nut 1 ½ to 2
turns.
- Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.
- Examine the connections for leaks.
