Removing the Door
1. While supporting the door, remove the four hinge
screws.
2. Carefully pull the door away from the cabinet to reveal
the wire harness behind the hinge at the top. Depress
the side lock tab to disconnect the wire harness
connector. The twist tie and cap should prevent the
wire harness from pulling back into the cabinet.
