Replace Doors and Hinges

1. Assemble the parts for the top hinges as shown in Top Hinge

graphic. Do not tighten the screws completely.

2. Replace the parts for the bottom hinge as shown in Bottom

Hinge graphic. Tighten screws. Replace the refrigerator door.

NOTE: Provide additional support for the refrigerator door
while the hinges are being moved. Do not depend on the door
gasket magnets to hold the door in place while you are
working.

3. Align the door so that the bottom of the refrigerator door

aligns evenly with the top of the freezer drawer. Tighten all
screws.

4. Reconnect the wiring plug on top of the left-hand side

refrigerator door.

5. Reconnect the water line by pulling back the locking collar

ring while firmly pushing the water line into the connector.

6. Check for leaks. Replace the façade and top hinge covers.

Remove and Replace Freezer Drawer

IMPORTANT: Two people may be required to remove and
replace the freezer drawer. Graphics are included later in this
section.

Remove Drawer Front

1. Open the freezer drawer to full extension.

2. Loosen the four screws attaching the drawer glides to the

drawer front. See Drawer Front Removal graphic.

NOTE: Loosen screws three to four turns. Keep the screws in
the drawer front.

3. Lift drawer front upward and off the screws. See Drawer Front

Removal graphic.

Replace Drawer Front

1. Slide the drawer glides out of the freezer compartment. Insert

the screws in the top of the drawer front into the slots in the
drawer brackets. See Drawer Front Replacement graphic.

2. Pull the drawer brackets toward you to position the two

screws in the bottom of the drawer front into the brackets.
See Drawer Front Replacement graphic.

3. Completely tighten the four screws.

Adjust the Doors

1. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to

close more easily, raise or lower the cabinet. Using a

³⁄₈" hex

driver, turn the roller adjustment screw(s) on each side to
raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the adjustment screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take
several turns of the roller adjustment screw to adjust the tilt of
the refrigerator.

To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.

To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left.

2. Turn the brake foot clockwise until it is firmly against the floor

to keep the refrigerator from rolling forward when the freezer
drawer is pulled open.

3. Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as

you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several
more turns, and you should turn both screws the same
amount.

Final Steps

1. Replace the base grille.

2. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

3. Return all removable parts to doors and drawer and food to

refrigerator and freezer.
