Remove the Freezer Door on Dispenser Models
1 Tape the door shut with masking
tape. There is a water line that
runs from the dispenser to the
hinge area and to the water valve
at the back of the refrigerator.
This line needs to be disconnected
at the valve before you remove the
door hinge.
To disconnect this line, first
remove or bend back the
compressor compartment cover.

Use a wrench to loosen the plastic
nut (counterclockwise) and pull
out the water line. This may
require some effort. Drain the
water line into a cup.
