STEP 13 INSTALL DISPENSER TRIM
Skip this step is you are installing a stainless steel
wrapped or a non-dispenser refrigerator.
There are two dispenser trims shipped with your
refrigerator. Select the appropriate trim for your
application.
Framed
Panel
Trim
Compare the dispenser trims. Note that
the inside depth of the frames are different.
Choose the trim with less depth for framed
panels. Choose the deeper one for overlay
panels.
Dispenser trim fit over the custom panel depends on
correct panel thickness. See pages 7 and 8 for panel
construction information.
• Press and snap the dispenser trim into the dispenser
recess on the refrigerator door.
If an excessive gap exists around the dispenser trim
or if the panel fits loosely in the door frame, foam tape
may be applied to help improve the fit. Remove
the trim and panel and apply the foam tape
to the door around the dispenser and in the corners.
