A WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more peopie to

lift

the freezer door.

Faiiure to do so can resuit in back or other injury.

Before replacing the freezer door on the bottom left hinge,

feed the small wiring bundle through the hinge. Assistance

may be needed.

IMPORTANT: Do not feed the large wiring bundle through

the hinge. This bundle is intended to run directly from the

door to the connections beneath the freezer. Forcing the

large bundle through the hinge may damage the door and/

or the wiring, and will keep the door from closing properly.

Feed both water tubes through the bottom left hinge, then

replace the freezer door on the hinge. Assistance may be

needed.

NOTE: Provide additional support for the doors while the top

hinges are being replaced. Do not depend on the door magnets

to hold the doors in place while you are working.

Align and replace the top left hinge as shown. See

Graphic 4. Tighten screws.

Reconnect water tubing and wiring.

IMPORTANT: Do not intertwine the water tubing and wiring

bundles when reconnecting them.

■

Push the larger (7.94 mm) water tube into the blue

fitting until it stops, then push the smaller 1A" (6.35 mm)

water tube into the green fitting until it stops. See

Graphic 2.

■

Reinstall the P-clamp around the small wiring bundle

(with one yellow plug), then replace the P-clamp on the

top screw hole of the routing plate. See Graphic 3.

■

Gently route the large wiring bundle (with two white

plugs) through the hole in the routing plate, so that the

wiring runs behind the right side of the routing plate. See

Graphic 3.

NOTE: The large wiring bundle should always remain

below the small wiring bundle.

■

Reconnect the wiring plugs to the electrical housing, then

push the housing back under the refrigerator. Align the

left hole in the front lip of the housing with the right hole

in the refrigerator's base crossbar. See Graphic 3.

■

Reinstall the wiring clip over the grommets. First install

the smaller grommet into the top of the clip, then install

the larger grommet into the bottom of the clip (closest to
the screw hole). See Graphic 3.

■

Align the clip's screw hole with the left hole in the

electrical housing and the right hole in the crossbar, and

screw in the clip using a single screw. Tighten screw. See
Graphic 3.

IMPORTANT: Once connected, the wiring bundles

should not be taut. Some flexibility is needed to allow
the freezer door to open properly.

. Replace the refrigerator door by lifting the door onto the

bottom right hinge.

Z Align and replace the top right hinge as shown. See

Graphic 6. Tighten screws.

. Replace the ice storage bin and any adjustable door or

utility bins.

Plug refrigerator into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Leveling and Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two adjustable front feet — one on the

right and one on the left. In most cases, the refrigerator should

be steady when both feet are touching the floor. If your

refrigerator seems unsteady or if you want the doors to close

more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions

below:

1. Move the refrigerator into its final location. If necessary,

open both doors to 90° and remove the base grille. See

Graphic 1.

The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each

side of the product. See Graphic 8.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator

takes some weight off the leveling feet. This makes it easier to

make adjustments.

Use a 1A" open-ended or adjustable wrench to adjust the

leveling feet. Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that

side of the product, or turn it to the right to lower that side of

the product.

Open both doors again and check that they close as easily

as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the

rear by turning the leveling feet to the left. It may take

several more turns, and you should turn both leveling feet

the same amount.

NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the

leveling feet to the right until they are no longer touching the

ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.

Door Alignment

A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to

have doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear

this way, use the instructions in the previous section to check the

leveling.

The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the

refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food

that will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned

after checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with

food, follow the steps below to adjust the door alignment.

If necessary, open both doors to 90° and remove the base

grille. See Graphic 1.

Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the

refrigerator door. See Graphic 9.

Use a ^16" open-ended or adjustable wrench to turn the

screw. To raise the refrigerator door, turn the screw to the

right. To lower the door, turn the screw to the left.

Check that the doors are even at the top. If necessary,

continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are

aligned.

Open both doors to 90°. Replace the base grille. See

Graphic 1.
