Door Closure Mechanism
The door closure mechanism uses a spring to
provide positive door closure from 30 degrees.
The door closure mechanism actuator arm has a
spring attached to the rear and is supported by
guide rollers on either side of the base channel.
The roller circumferences and the actuator arm
detents are matched for smooth operation. The
arm is attached to the door with an Allen head
shoulder bolt.
The closure mechanism allows easy opening to
approximately 90 degrees, where the arm has a
detent to permit the door to remain open at 90
degrees with minimal tension. Once the door is
opened beyond 90 degrees, the closure
mechanism pulls the door open until the closure
arm engages the door stop at approximately 130
degrees. The reverse action occurs when the door
is closed.
Note: The door closure mechanism and the top
door hinge are held by the same bolts. Take the
necessary precautions to secure the fresh food
door when the door closure mechanism is being
removed.
• The actuator arm is spring loaded with moderate
spring tension.
To remove the door closure mechanism
1. Remove the 3/16-in. Allen head bolt and
spacer from the door and actuator arm.
2. Disconnect the spring from the pin on the top
of the cabinet and pull the actuator arm from
the closure mechanism.
3. Remove 4 (3/8-in.) bolts and the door closure
mechanism.
