Refer to the disassembly diagram and change the
door hinges in the following procedure.
The numbers in the diagram indicate the
procedure order in the instructions.
1. Remove the hinge cap by twisting it off.
2. Remove the upper hexagonal head screws.
The freezer door can now be removed.
3. Remove the middle hexagonal head screws.
The refrigerator door can now be removed.
Tilt the refrigerator back or lay it on its back
for steps 4, 5, and 6. Use a pad or blanket to
protect the floor and to avoid scratching the
painted finish.
4. Remove the leveling legs by turning them
counterclockwise. Remove the lower
hexagonal head screws, two on the hinge
side and one near the front corner of the
other side.
5. Attach the left side leg and leg spacer to the
other side hole which was positioned
symmetrically.
6. Attach the bottom hinge symmetrically to
the other side of the cabinet.
7. Remove the upper hinge plastic pins and
insert them in the holes from which the
screws were removed in Procedure 2.
8. Remove the middle hinge plastic cover and
screw. Insert the cover in the hole from
which the screws were removed in
Procedure 3.

screwdriver and insert them in the hinge
collars on the opposite side.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
(continued)
13. Rotate the middle hinge 180° . Attach it to the
refrigerator door with the spacer and secure it
with a screw. (Do not tighten the screw
completely.)
CAUTION: Door gasket may rub or interfere with
middle hinge. If this happens, remove washers
on bottom hinge, one at a time until there is no
interference.
14. Attach the freezer door to the middle hinge
and use the screws to attach the upper hinge
and spacer. (Do not tighten the screws
completely.)
15. The direction in which the doors open has
now been changed; however, the following
points should be checked:
a. Make sure both doors are on straight.
b. Make sure that there is no space between
the door gaskets and the refrigerator unit
itself when the doors are closed.
c. Make sure that the gasket on the hinged
side is not caught between the door and the
unit when the door is opened or closed.
(If the door is forced closed when the gasket
is caught, the gasket may be damaged.)
When checking the above points, if it is
discovered that the doors are not installed
properly (this is apt to happen at the first try),
loosen the screws holding the upper and middle
hinges, straighten the doors and tighten the
screws slowly with the socket wrench. After
making sure that the doors are installed
correctly, tighten all the screws holding the
hinges.
If they are not tightened, the doors may slip out
of position or there may be an opening between
the doors and the unit.
