Replace Doors and Hinges NOTE: Graphic may be reversed if door swing is reversed. 1. Replace the parts for the bottom hinge as shown. Tighten screws. Replace the refrigerator door. NOTE: Provide additional support for the doors while the hinges are being moved. Do not depend on the door magnets to hold the doors in place while you are working. 2. Measure the distance from the bottom of the refrigerator door to the floor. The distance should be approximately 3 1/2" (88 mm). NOTE: If necessary, loosen the bottom hinge, without removing the screws, adjust the door to the correct height and fully tighten the screws. 3. Assemble the parts for the center hinge as shown and tighten all screws. See Center Hinge graphic. Replace the freezer door. 4. Assemble the parts for the top hinge as shown. See Top Hinge graphic. Do not tighten screws completely. Contour Door Models Only: � Remove the screw attaching the hinge pin to the hinge. Turn the hinge over so that it is pointing in the opposite direction. � Place the plastic spacer beneath the hinge so that it will be between the hinge and the cabinet, making sure the holes are aligned. � Fasten the Top Hinge to the opposite side of the cabinet, inserting the screws only halfway, so you will be able to replace and align the freezer door later. 5. Line up the doors so that the bottom of the freezer door aligns evenly with the top of the refrigerator door. Tighten all screws. NOTE: The distance between the doors should be approximately 5/8" (16 mm). Final Steps WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong.
