unplug it, and remove any food from door shelves.
To remove doors from hinges:
1. Remove base grille and top hinge cover. See the "Base
Grille" section for instructions.
2. Keep doors closed until ready to lift free from the
cabinet.
3. Start at the top hinge and work your way down to the
center hinge and bottom hinge. Remove all screws and
components as shown.
NOTE: If you are reversing handles, you should move
them while the doors are off of the refrigerator. Follow the
instructions in the "Reversing the Door Handles" section.
To reverse and replace doors on hinges:
1. Remove hole plugs covering the screw holes on the
opposite side of the refrigerator using a flat putty knife.
2. Start at the bottom hinge and work your way up to the
center hinge and top hinge replacing all components
and screws as shown.
3. Line up doors so they are centered between the sides
of the cabinet and parallel with each other.
4. Fill all unused openings with screws or plastic hole
plugs. Moisture will enter any unfilled openings.
NOTE: If the doors are not closing on their own, see the
"Door Closing and Alignment" section.
