Door Assembly
The fresh food and freezer doors are foam filled doors. This provides a stiff door with good energy
efficiency.
The gaskets are a dart design. The gasket slides into the gasket retainer from the side.
The hinge assemblies are designed to support several hundred pounds. This weight is a combination of
the door itself, any external trim the customer has had installed and the contents of the door bins.
The hinges have door closing springs. There are two strengths of door closing springs. The red door
spring is for the right side of the cabinet (refrigerator door). The blue hinge is for the freezer door.

NOTE
There is lateral adjustment for the
top of the cabinet doors but no
depth adjustment. When observing
the top door hinge, there are four
screws installed at the time of
manufacture. If any adjustments
need to be made, remove the
Phillips screw and discard. This
screw is used as a locator and will
not be needed if the other three
screws have been adjusted.
The full-length handles on the
frame style models are held
in place with screws that are
hidden by a magnetic trim piece.
To remove the trim piece, use
adhesive tape as a temporary
handle.
There is an air relief damper
(snorkel) in the roof of the fresh
food section. This damper allows
air into the cabinet to allow the
doors to open. Without this relief
air there can be considerable
suction inside of the cabinet. If the
customer experiences stuck doors
with no visible reason, check for
a stuck air damper. The damper
assembly can be found above the
fresh food compartment behind the
filter base assembly.
