Changing the door hinges
Removing the lower soft-close
mechanism
 Open the lower appliance door.

If the door seal is damaged, the
appliance door may not close prop-
erly and cooling performance will be
reduced.
Condensation will form in the inside
and this can cause a build-up of ice.
Do not damage the door seal.
 Loosen the panel  from the soft-
close mechanism by inserting a flat-
headed screwdriver into the gaps
from above and, taking care, gradu-
ally lifting the panel off.
