Remove the Doors 
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Open both doors to 90°. Remove the base grille by removing 
the two screws, then pulling out on the outside corners. See 
Graphic 1
.
NOTE: The doors must only be opened to 90°. If they are 
opened all the way, the base grille will not come off.
3. Disconnect the water tubing, located behind the base grille 
on the freezer door side. The dispenser tubing runs through 
the door hinge, and must be disconnected in order to remove 
the door. See Graphic 2
Press the colored outer ring against the face of fitting and 
pull the water tubing free.
NOTE: Keep the water tubing connector attached to the 
tube that runs underneath the freezer. The door cannot be 
removed if the connector is still attached to the tube that 
runs through the door hinge.
4. Disconnect the wiring, located behind the base grille on the 
freezer door side. See Graphic 3.
Remove the P-clamp using a 
¹⁄₄" hex-head socket 
wrench. Remove the small wiring bundle from the 
P-clamp.
Remove the wiring clip using a 
¹⁄₄" hex-head socket 
wrench.
Pull the electrical housing out from under the refrigerator. 
Disconnect the wiring plugs from the housing.
Gently pull the large wiring bundle (with two white plugs) 
through the routing plate.
5. Close both doors and keep them closed until you are ready to 
lift them free from the cabinet.
6. Use a 
³⁄₁₆" hex key to remove the top left hinge screws as 
shown. See Graphic 4.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove either screw A. 
7. Lift freezer door straight up off bottom hinge. See Graphic 5
The water tubing and wiring remain attached to the freezer 
door and pull through the bottom left hinge. 
NOTE: This may require two people - one to lift the door and 
another to feed the water tubing and wiring through the 
hinge. Be sure the hole in the hinge is clear of obstructions, 
then gently pull one water tube through the hinge. (Avoid 
kinking the tube.) Next, gently pull the other water tube 
through the hinge, again avoiding kinks. Finally, gently pull 
the wiring bundle (including the grommet and wiring plugs) 
through the hinge.
IMPORTANT: Rest the door on its side on a soft, clean 
surface, such as a towel, blanket or piece of cardboard. This 
will help avoid damaging the door, water tubing and wiring.
8. Use a 
³⁄₁₆" hex key to remove the top right hinge screws as 
shown. See Graphic 6.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove either screw A.
9. Lift the refrigerator door straight up off bottom hinge.
IMPORTANT: Rest the door on its side on a soft, clean 
surface, such as a towel, blanket or piece of cardboard. This 
will help avoid damaging the door.
10. It may not be necessary to remove the bottom hinges to 
move the refrigerator through a doorway. Both bottom hinges 
have similar construction. 
If necessary, use an internal star drive or a 
³⁄₈" hex-head 
socket wrench to remove the bottom hinges. See 
Graphic 7
.
IMPORTANT: The leveler brackets are mounted behind 
the hinges. If you remove the hinges, make sure that the 
leveler brackets are replaced when reinstalling the hinges.
Replace the Doors and Hinges
1. Replace both bottom hinges, if removed. Make sure that the 
leveler brackets are assembled behind the hinges. Tighten 
screws.
IMPORTANT: When the screws are tightened properly, there 
should not be any gaps between the refrigerator, leveler 
bracket and hinge.
NOTE: There are two wiring bundles that run underneath the 
freezer - a large bundle with a large grommet and two white plugs 
at the end, and a small bundle with a small grommet and one 
yellow plug at the end. 
2. 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.
3. 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.
