Machine Compartment Access Door
The machine compartment access door is held in
place by 2 hinges and 2 gas shocks.
To remove the machine compartment access
door:
1. Remove the grille panel.
2. Remove the gas shocks from the cabinet:
a. Insert a small screwdriver under the
retainer clip.
b. Pull the retainer inward to dislodge the
gas shock from the pivot ball.

Doors
The doors are of one-piece construction with foamed-in
insulation. The inner and outer door panels cannot be
separated and must be replaced as an assembly.
Note: On trimmed models, the maximum weight for the
fresh food door panel is 70 pounds. The maximum weight
for the freezer door panel is 30 pounds.
Door Alignment
The freezer door is nonadjustable. The fresh food door
has an adjustment screw at the bottom hinge. Use a 7/32-
in. socket or open-end wrench to turn the adjusting screw
clockwise to raise the door, or counterclockwise to lower
the door. A lockin screw using a Phillips head screw is
used to hold the adjusting screw in place. You must
loosen this screw to adjust the door.
Note: Raising the fresh food door too high will cause the
upper hinge to bind on the machine compartment access
door.
Door Stop
The refrigerator has a 2-position door stop. When space
does not allow the door to swing open fully to 130°, the
stop can be adjusted to a 90° door swing. The pin is
factory installed in the 130° location. To change the stop
location, use a fl athead screwdriver to move the stop pin.
