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.
Install Refrigerator Door
1. Place the washer on the hole on top of the refrigerator door.
2. Lift the refrigerator door onto the bottom pin of the Center
hinge, and rest the door on the magnetic shipping bracket to
ensure proper alignment.
NOTE: If the shipping bracket is no longer there, the distance
between the bottom of the door and the floor must be 3.46"
(8.8 cm).
3. Insert the bottom hinge pin into the bottom of the refrigerator
door and fasten the hinge to the cabinet. Do not tighten
completely.
NOTE: For 21 cu ft models, install both the bottom hinge
assembly and the leveling foot.
4. Measure the distance from the bottom of the refrigerator door
to the floor. The distance should be approximately 3 ¹⁄₂"
(88 mm).
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
⁵⁄₈" (16 mm).
Final Steps
1. Remove the cover from each side of the base grille. Move
each cover to the opposite side.

base grille.

bottom of the cabinet. Push the base grille toward the cabinet
until it is flush.
