Installation Instructions REVERSING THE DOOR SWING (Single Door Refrigerator Models only) IMPORTANT NOTES When reversing the door swing: NOTE: Door swing is not reversible on stainless steel models. • Read the instructions all the way through before starting. • Parts are included in the door hinge kit. • Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching paint. • Set screws down by their related parts to avoid using them in the wrong places. • Provide a non-scratching work surface for the doors. IMPORTANT: Once you begin, do not move the cabinet until door-swing reversal is completed. These instructions are for changing the hinges from the right side to the left side-if you ever want to change the hinges back to the right side, follow these same instructions and reverse all references to left and right. • Once door swing is finalized, ensure the logo badge is properly aligned and permanently secured to the door by removing the adhesive cover on the back side. NOTE: A replacement logo badge is included in the hinge kit. Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet. Empty all door shelves, including the dairy compartment . 1 REMOVE THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR A Tape the door shut with masking tape. B Remove the hinge cover on top of the refrigerator door by carefully prying it up with a putty knife, if necessary. C Using a 5/16″ socket ratchet/driver, remove the bolts securing the top hinge to the cabinet. Then lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the socket in the top of the door. D Carefully remove the door thimble from inside the socket. This will be used again when reinstalling the door on the other side.
