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
screws from the top hinge. Lift the door
off of the bottom hinge and set it aside.
3. Unscrew the three lower hinge screws
and hinge if necessary.
To reinstall the right door, reverse the above
steps.
