Installation Instructions
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
IMPORTANT NOTES
When reversing the door swing:
• Read the instructions all the way through
before starting.
• Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching
paint.
• Set screws down by their related parts to
avoid using them in the wrong places.
• Provide a non-scratching work surface for
the doors.
IMPORTANT: Once you begin, do not move
the cabinet until door-swing reversal is
completed.
These instructions are for changing the
hinges from the right side to the left side—if
you ever want to change the hinges back to
the right side, follow these same instructions
and reverse all references to left and right.
Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical
outlet.
Empty all door shelves, including the dairy
compartment.

Tape the door shut with masking tape.
Remove the hinge cover on top of the

Using an adjustable wrench, remove the

Then lift the hinge straight up to free the
hinge pin from the socket in the top of
the door.
Remove the tape and tilt the door away
from the cabinet. Lift the door off the
center hinge pin.
Set the door on a non-scratching surface
with the inside up.
