Reverse Doors and Hinges (optional)
IMPORTANT: If you want to reverse your doors so that they open
in the opposite direction, follow these steps. If you are not
reversing the doors, see “Replace Doors and Hinges.”
See complete graphics later in these instructions.
Reverse Center Hinge
1. Remove the three dome caps and screws from the handle
side and use them to fill the holes created when the hinge
screws were removed.
2. Using the three ⁵⁄₁₆" hex-head hinge screws, removed in
Step 1, insert two screws halfway into the holes, leaving
space to insert the center hinge.
3. Once the refrigerator door is in place, slide the center hinge
from the right onto the screws, insert the third screw, and
then tighten all screws completely.
NOTE: Make sure the washers are in place on both the top
and bottom pins of the center hinge.
Reverse Freezer Door
1. Remove the three cabinet hole plugs from the top of the
cabinet and place them in the hinge holes on the opposite
side.
2. Remove the door handles.
■ Remove the two flat-head handle screws from the bottom
of the freezer door handle.
■ Using the ¹⁄₈" hex key, loosen the setscrew attaching the
top of the handle.
■ Pull the handle away from the door to release it from the
shoulder screw. Keep all parts together.
3. Using the plastic tool (provided), remove the brand badge
from the freezer door by prying up the right-hand side and
slowly peeling the badge away from the door, revealing the
hole to mount the door handle.
NOTES:
■ To avoid scratching the finish, do not use a sharp or
metallic object to pry the brand badge from the door.
■ Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over any adhesive
residue with your fingers. Rinse the door with warm water
and dry with a soft cloth.
4. Remove the shoulder screw and its washer from the left-hand
side of the door and fasten it into the hole that was behind
the brand badge.
5. Remove the door stop from the bottom of the freezer door.
6. Move the door stop to the opposite side, making sure that the
hole in the door stop plate is aligned perfectly with the hole
for the center hinge pin.
