Step 1: Removing the Door
With a phillips screwdriver remove the screw and "P" clamp

Disconnect the door wire harness by pressing and holding
down the locking tab on the wire connector and pulling the
connector apart. See Figure 14.
Open the door and loosen the screws holding the hinges to
the cabinet (2 at the top and 2 at the bottom hinge). Do not
remove the screws but loosen them enough so the hinges
can be slipped off of the screws when sliding the door to
the side.
With a helper, and being careful not to scratch the cabinet
or the door, slide the door to the side about
1
⁄
2
inch and
remove the hinges and door from the unit.

through the condenser. The use of a custom grille is not
recommended and will void the warranty.
