Handle Removal (optional)

1. Apply firm pressure with your hand on the face of trim. Slide 

top trim up and bottom trim down away from handle. Lift trim 
pieces off shoulder screws. See Graphic 1.

NOTE: Some models include accent pieces between the handle 
and the handle trim. If your model includes the accents, you will 
need to carefully remove them with a flat-head screwdriver 
before removing the handle screws. The accent pieces are 
optional and can be reinstalled or left off of the handle assembly.

2. Remove handle screws and handles. See Graphic 1.

3. Move refrigerator into place. Replace handles as shown. See 

Graphic 1.

Door Removal 

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Open both refrigerator doors. Remove the base grille by 

pulling up on the bottom outside corners. See Graphic 2.

3. Close both doors and keep them closed until you are ready to 

lift them free from the cabinet.

4. If you have a dispenser (ice or water), disconnect the water 

dispenser tubing located behind the base grille on the freezer 
door side. See Graphic 3. 

Press the red outer ring against the face of fitting and pull 
the dispenser tubing free.

On some models, remove tubing from hose clip.

5. Remove top left hinge cover and screws as shown. See 

Graphic 4. Do not remove Screw A.

6. Disconnect wiring plug and both ground wires. See 

Graphic 4.

7. Carefully lift freezer door straight up off bottom hinge. See 

Graphic 5. The water dispenser tubing remains attached to 
the freezer door and pulls through the bottom left hinge. 
Make sure you protect the dispenser tubing from damage.

8. Remove top right hinge cover and screws as shown. See 

Graphic 6. Do not remove Screw A.

9. Lift the refrigerator door straight up off bottom hinge.

10. It may not be necessary to remove the bottom hinge to move 

the refrigerator through a doorway. Both bottom hinges have 
similar construction. 

Disassemble the hinges as shown. See Graphic 7. Do not 
remove Screw A.

Door and Hinge Replacement

1. Replace both bottom hinges, if removed. Tighten screws.

2. Assistance may be needed to feed the water dispenser 

tubing through the bottom hinge while reinstalling the freezer 
door. Carefully feed the dispenser tubing through the bottom 
left hinge before replacing the door on the hinge.

NOTE: Provide additional support for the doors while the top 
hinges are being replaced. Do not depend on the door magnets 
to hold the doors in place while you are working. 

3. Reconnect water dispenser tubing by pushing tubing into  

fitting until it stops and black mark touches face of fitting. See 
Graphic 3. On some models, replace tubing in hose clip. 

4. Align and replace the top left hinge as shown. See Graphic 4. 

Tighten screws.

5. Reconnect both ground wires.

6. Reconnect wiring plug.

7. Replace left hinge cover and screws.

8. Replace the refrigerator door by carefully lifting the door onto 

the bottom right hinge.

9. Align and replace the top right hinge as shown. See 

Graphic 6. Tighten screws.

10. Replace hinge cover and screws. Tighten screws.

11. Plug into a grounded (earthed) outlet.

Adjust the Doors

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers — one on the 
right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if 
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's 
tilt using the instructions below:

1. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies 

which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side. See 
Graphic 8.

3. Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the 

leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator 
or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may 
take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of 
the refrigerator. See Graphic 8.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the 
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and 
rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws. 

4. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they 

close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly 
more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It 
may take several more turns, and you should turn both 
leveling screws the same amount.

5. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.
