each panel fits snugly behind the lip of the Top Trim.

Carefully push the freezer panel in until it slides into the
slot behind the door handle. Push the filler panel (required
with some door panels) in behind the decorator panel.
Repeat for refrigerator panel.

to the refrigerator panel and top freezer panel.

Insert the Bottom Freezer Panel (on dispenser models).

Carefully push the panel in until it slides into the slot
behind the door handle. Push the filler panel (required
