Gather the required tools and parts and read all instructions before starting installation. Save these instructions for future reference. NOTE: Before moving your product into your home, measure the doorway of your home to see whether you need to remove the refrigerator

and freezer doors. If door removal is necessary, see the instructions below. IMPORTANT: Before you begin, turn the refrigerator control OFF or turn cooling off. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. Remove food,

the ice storage bin (on some models), and any adjustable door or utility bins from doors.

TOOLS NEEDED:

Bubble level; flat-blade screwdriver; ⁵⁄₁₆" wrench; ¹⁄₄", ¹⁄₂", and ⁵⁄₁₆" hex-head socket wrenches

Remove the Doors

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before removing doors. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Open both doors (refrigerator and freezer) and the water filter

cover door. It is not necessary to remove the water filter itself.

3. Remove the base grille by pulling up on the bottom outside

corners. See Graphic 1.

4. Disconnect the water dispenser tubing located behind the base

grille on the freezer door side. The dispenser tubing runs through the door hinge, and must be disconnected in order to remove the door. See Graphic 2.

■ Press blue outer ring against the face of fitting and pull the

dispenser tubing free. NOTE: Keep the water tubing connector attached to the tube

that runs underneath the freezer. The door cannot be removed if the connector is still attached to the tube that runs through the door hinge.

5. Disconnect the wiring located behind the base grille on the freezer

door side. See Graphic 3.

■ Remove the wiring clip using a ¹⁄₄" hex-head socket wrench.

■ Disconnect wiring plugs.

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

them free from the cabinet.

7. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" hex-head socket wrench to remove the top left hinge

as shown. See Graphic 4.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove either screw A.

8. Lift freezer door straight up off bottom hinge. See Graphic 5. The

water dispenser tubing and wiring remain attached to the freezer door and pull through the bottom left hinge.

NOTE: This may require two people - one to lift the door and another to feed the water tubing and wiring through the hinge.

IMPORTANT: Rest the door on its side on a soft, clean surface, such as a towel, blanket or piece of cardboard. This will help avoid damaging the door, water tubing and wiring.

9. Remove top right hinge as shown. See Graphic 6. IMPORTANT: Do not remove either screw A.

10. Lift the refrigerator door straight up off bottom hinge. IMPORTANT: Rest the door on its side on a soft, clean surface,

such as a towel, blanket or piece of cardboard. This will help avoid damaging the door.

11. It may not be necessary to remove the bottom hinges to move the refrigerator through a doorway. Both bottom hinges have similar construction.

■ If necessary, disassemble the hinges as shown. See

Graphic 7.

IMPORTANT: To aid in door alignment and closing, there is a shim located between the hinge and the cabinet. When the hinge is removed, the shim may fall out of place. If this occurs, set the shim aside so it can be put back in place when the hinge is reconnected later.

Replace the Doors and Hinges

1. Replace both bottom hinges, if removed. Make sure the shim is

between the hinge and cabinet. Tighten screws.

2. Before replacing the freezer door on the bottom left hinge, feed

the wiring with the yellow plug and the water dispenser tubing through the hinge. Assistance may be needed.

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

Tighten screws.

4. Reconnect water dispenser tubing and wiring. IMPORTANT: Do not intertwine the water tubing and wiring

bundles when reconnecting them.

■ Push tubing into fitting until it stops and the black mark

touches the face of fitting. See Graphic 2.

■ Reconnect wiring plugs. Reinstall the wiring clip over the

grommets. Tighten screw. See Graphic 3.

5. Replace the refrigerator door by lifting the door onto the bottom right hinge.

6. Align and replace the top right hinge as shown. See Graphic 6. Tighten screws.

7. Replace the ice storage bin (on some models) and any adjustable door or utility bins.

8. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Leveling and Door Closing

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 location.

2. Remove the base grille to locate the two leveling screws, which

are part of the front roller assemblies on each side. 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.

3. Use a ¹⁄₂" hex-head socket wrench 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.

4. Open both doors again and check 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. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the leveling

feet to the right until they are no longer touching the ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.

Door Alignment

A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to have doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear this way, use the instructions in the previous section to check the leveling.

The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food that will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned after checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with food, follow the steps below to adjust the door alignment.

1. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the refrigerator door. See Graphic 9.

2. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" wrench to turn the screw. To raise the refrigerator door, turn the screw to the right. To lower the door, turn the screw to the left.

3. Check that the doors are even at the top and bottom. If necessary, continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are aligned.

4. Replace the base grille.

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