Door Removal Instructions
Getting Through Narrow Spaces
If your refrigerator will not fit through an entrance area,
you can remove the doors. Check first by measuring the
entrance.
To prepare for removing the doors:
1. Make sure the electrical power cord is unplugged
from the wall outlet.
2. Open the freezer drawer and remove the toe grille
(see "Installation" section).
3. Remove any food from the door shelves and close
the doors.
To remove the top hinge covers:
1. Remove the two (2) screws from each cover over the
top door hinges.
2. Lift inside edge of hinge cover and tilt back.
NOTE
DO NOT remove the ground screw from hinge.
To remove the refrigerator doors:
1. Trace lightly around the door's top hinges with a
pencil. This makes reinstallation easier.
2. Disconnect the harness by grasping both sides of the
connector firmly, depress the latch, and pull apart.
Remove the two (2) screws from the top hinge. Lift
the door off of the bottom hinge and set it aside.
3. Detach the water tube from the connector located
behind the refrigerator and pull the tube back out to
the front of the unit. The connector releases when you
press inward on the outer sleeve while pushing the
tube toward the connector then while continuing to
hold in the sleeve, pull the tube away.
