Opening and Closing Doors There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together. On some models, there is a, automatic closing mechanism so the door(s) will not unintentionally be left open. If a door is open at a 40° or smaller angle, the door will automatically, softly close. IMPORTANT: If the doors do not automatically close at a 40° or smaller angle, see "Bottom Door Hinge." There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door. � When the left-hand door is opened, the hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way. � When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically forms a seal between the two doors. A. Hinged seal The refrigerator compartment door switch is located in the top left and right hinge cover. � The door switch uses magnet to sense door opening/closing. � Ensure there are no magnet or electronic devices (Speaker, CoolVox®, etc) within 3 inches of the hinge cap. NOTE: The light and internal user interface (UI) will not turn on if the door opening is not detected. A.
