Removing/Assembling the
Refrigerator Doors
When it is necessary to move the refrigerator
through a narrow opening, removing the doors
is the recommended procedure.
WARNING
 If your entrance door is too narrow
for the refrigerator to pass through,
remove the refrigerator doors and move
the refrigerator sideways through the
doorway.
 Use two or more people to remove and
install the refrigerator doors. Failure to do
so can result in back or other injury.
 Disconnect the electrical supply to the
refrigerator before installation. Failure
to do so could result in serious injury or
death.
 Do not put hands, feet or other objects
into the air vents or bottom of the
refrigerator. You may be injured or receive
an electrical shock.
 Be careful when handling the hinge and
stopper. You may be injured.
 Remove food and bins before detaching
the doors and drawers.

Removing the Left (Freezer) Door

with Water Line Connection
Pull up the water feed tube while pressing area
(figure 1) as shown in the figure below. Make
sure the color of the water lines match.
NOTE: If a tube end is deformed or abraded,
trim the part away. Disconnecting the tube
under the door causes about 0.13 gallons (0.5
liters) of water to flow out. Put a large container
at the end of the tube to prevent water from
draining onto the floor.
