WHEN CHANGING THE HINGE POSITION:
Insure that the door latch assembly operates
properly after changing the hinge position from
left to right, or vice-versa, with the following
checks:
A. The refrigerator door(s) opens and closes
easily.
B. The door gasket seals smoothly and completely
on all sides.
C. Slide the latch left to the locked position
and try to open the door(s). The latch
assembly should keep the door(s) from opening.
NOTE: A hard pull will release the door
latch assembly and the door(s) will
open. This is not a fault. ( I f a n
adjustment is required, repeat the
above p r o c e d u r e t o d e t e r m i n e t h e
effectiveness of the repair.)

assembly. Follow the outlined steps to complete
this procedure:
1. Open the door and remove the two (2)
front decoration screws located underneath
the upper hinge assemblies.
2. Remove the front decoration by lifting
the decoration upward.

Loosen the screws that hold the upper
hinge in place.
Reorient the door so the catch retainer
on the door will engage with the latch
assembly. (Usually lowering the door
will accomplish this.)
