REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

TO CHANGE THE DOOR HINGES FROM THE RIGHT
SIDE OF THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE LEFT:

1. 

Unplug the refrigerator and empty it.

2. 

Remove the countertop. See the Refrigerator

Installation section.

3. 

Remove the top hinge and if there’s a shim

under the hinge, remove it too. Set the hinge
(and shim) aside.

4. 

Open the door slightly and lift it off.

5. 

Carefully set the refrigerator on its back.

6. 

Remove the leveling leg below the bottom

hinge and the leveling leg and leg spacer at the
opposite corner.

7. 

Remove the bottom hinge and if there’s a

shim under the hinge, remove it too. Reinstall
the hinge (and shim) on the opposite side. Do
not tighten screws at this time.

8. 

Reinstall the leveling legs. Be sure the 

leg spacer goes on the leg opposite the 
relocated hinge.

9.

Place the door on a flat nonscratching surface.

10. 

Remove the door stop and reinstall it on the

opposite side.

11. 

Remove the plug button from the top edge

of the door and press it into the hinge hole on
the opposite side.

12. 

Reinstall the top hinge (and shim, if any)

that you removed in step 3. Do not tighten
screws at this time.

13. 

Set the door on the cabinet, align it, and fit 

the hinge pins into the door sockets. Then
tighten the top and bottom hinge screws and
stand the refrigerator upright.
