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. 

2. Before replacing the freezer door on the bottom left hinge, 

feed the wiring and water tubing through the 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.

■

Feed the wiring bundle through the hinge. Assistance 
may be needed.

■

Feed the water tube 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.

3. Align and replace the top left hinge as shown. See Graphic 4. 

Tighten screws.

4. Reconnect water tubing and wiring.

IMPORTANT: Do not intertwine the water tubing and wiring 
bundles when reconnecting them.

■

Water Connection Style 1: Push the larger 

⁵⁄₁₆" (7.94 mm) 

water tube into the blue fitting until it stops, then push the 
smaller 

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water tube into the green fitting until 

it stops. See Graphic 2A.

Water Connection Style 2: Push the black water tube 
with the blue tip into the blue fitting until it stops. Close 
the clasp around the tubing, making sure it snaps into 
place. Repeat this process to connect the red-tipped 
black water tube and the red fitting. See Graphic 2B.

■

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.

■

Water Connection Style 1: Push the water tube into the 
fitting until it stops. See Graphic 2A.

Water Connection Style 2: Push the water tube into the 
fitting until it stops. Close the clasp around the tubing, 
making sure it snaps into place. See Graphic 2B.

■

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

5. Replace the refrigerator door by lifting the door onto the 

bottom right hinge.

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

Graphic 6. Tighten screws.

7. Replace the ice storage bin (on some models) and any 

adjustable door or utility bins.

8. Plug refrigerator into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
