NOTE:  DE/EV0041 models have four mounting screws and

DE/EV0061 models have six mounting screws.

-  Put the mounting screws [4] through the mounting flange [5]

on both sides of the refrigerator.

-  Make sure the mounting screws are through upper

hole [6] of each pair of holes in the mounting flanges.

 If the mounting screws are not

through the upper hole of each pair of holes in the
mounting flanges, the side trim pieces will not fit
correctly.

2.  Install the side trim pieces (See Art01669 and Art01670):

-  Open the door(s).

-  Push the top only of each side trim piece [7] onto the metal

frame [8] of the refrigerator.

NOTE:  You may need to pierce a hole in the door gasket

allow the screw to engage to door hinge.

-  Put the plastic cap in the hole that is opposite the upper

hinge of each door.

5.  Install the lower door:

-  Make sure a hinge bushing is in the top of the upper door

hinge.

-  Push the upper door hinge up onto the center hinge pin.

-  Allow the door to close and put the bottom of the lower door

hinge onto the lower cabinet hinge of the refrigerator.

-  Make sure a hinge bushing is in the bottom of the lower

door hinge.

-  Align the holes in lower door hinge and the lower cabinet

hinge.

-  Turn the lower hinge pin down into the lower cabinet hinge.

6.  Install the upper door:

-  Make sure a hinge bushing is in the bottom of the lower

door hinge.

-  Put the lower door hinge down onto the center hinge pin.

-  Allow the door to close and put the top of the upper door

hinge under the upper cabinet hinge of the refrigerator.

hinge.

hinge.

-  Turn the upper hinge pin up into the upper cabinet hinge.

center hinge pin.

7.  Align the doors and tighten all of the screws.

8.  Seal all of the screw holes in the door gasket using a 100%

silicone multi-purpose sealant that is safe for food contact:

NOTE:  Read and follow the instructions on the packaging of

the silicone sealant.

-  Pull the door gasket away from the door.

-  Locate the half-moon shaped openings in the door (See

Art00985).

-  Apply some of the silicone sealant between the door gasket

and the plastic door liner and also fill the screw hole
opening.

If you do not remove the orange cable tie from the drain
tube, the result will be water inside the refrigerator.

If you do not connect the drain tube to another tube, the
result will be water at the rear of the refrigerator.

1.  Remove and discard the orange cable tie that seals the

drain tube at the rear of the refrigerator.

2.  Attach the drain tube to another tube which allows the defrost

water of the refrigerator to correctly drain to a sump or to an
area outside the vehicle.

- Push the door gasket back against the door to allow the

gasket to seal against the silicone sealant.

-  Smooth the silicone sealant in the screw hole opening so it

is even with the door cap.

-  Remove any excess silicone sealant from the door cap with

a dry paper towel.

-  Trim off any excess cured silicone sealant.
