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.
3. Remove the 2 screws from both hinges, then
remove the machine compartment access
door.
Door Alignment
The freezer door is nonadjustable. The fresh
food door has an adjustment screw at the bottom
hinge. Use a

-in. socket or open-end wrench
to turn the adjusting screw clockwise to raise the
door, or counterclockwise to lower the door. A
nylon plug, imbedded in the threads of the pin,
prevents the pin from turning, unless a tool is
used.
Note: Raising the fresh food door too high will
cause the upper hinge to bind on the machine
compartment access door.

swing. The pin is factory installed in the 130°
location. To change the stop location, use a fl at-
head screwdriver to move the stop pin.
