Doors and Door Hinges

IMPORTANT: The freezer door is not adjustable.
The fresh food door can be adjusted up and down
to match the height of the freezer door. Adjust the
fresh food door up or down using the hinge
adjustment pin (located on the fresh food lower
door hinge).
The fresh food and freezer lower door hinges are
equipped with replaceable cam risers. Cam risers
assist in door closure.
When the fresh food door is adjusted too high, the
cam riser will not be engaged. If the cam riser is
not engaged, the door will not close properly. Refer
to the Fresh Food Door Adjustment section in this
chapter for more information.
IMPORTANT: The refrigerator rollers must be
adjusted correctly to ensure proper door closure.
Refer to the Roller Assembly section in this
chapter for more information.

Door Removal

1. Remove the upper hinge cover by removing
the Phillips screw.
2. With the door in the closed position, disconnect
the wiring harness (freezer side only).
