refrigerator through a doorway. Both bottom hinges have similar
construction.
If necessary, use an internal star drive or a ³⁄₈" hex­head socket

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.

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.
Use two or more people to lift the freezer door.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
2. Before replacing the freezer door on the bottom left hinge, feed the
See 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
