Replace Doors and Hinges
IMPORTANT: Provide additional support for the doors while the
hinges are being moved. Do not depend on the door magnets to
hold the doors in place while you are working.
Reverse Top Hinge
1. Place the plastic spacer beneath the hinge so that it will be
between the hinge and the cabinet, making sure the holes
are aligned.
2. 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.
Install Refrigerator Door
1. Insert the bottom hinge pin into the bottom hinge and fasten
the hinge to the cabinet. Do not tighten completely.
2. Place the washer on top of the bottom hinge pin.
3. Place the refrigerator door onto the pin of the bottom hinge.
4. Measure the distance from the bottom of the refrigerator door
to the floor. The distance should be approximately 1⁴⁄₅"
(4.6 cm).
NOTE: If necessary, loosen the bottom hinge, without
removing the screws, adjust the door to the correct height
and fully tighten the screws.
Install Freezer Door
1. Place washer on the upper hinge pin of the center hinge.
2. Place the freezer door on the upper hinge pin of the
center hinge.
3. Insert the top hinge pin into the drilled hole in the top of the
freezer door. Do not tighten the screws completely.
4. Align 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 ³⁄₄" (19 mm).
