wrench.
� Pull the electrical housing out from under the refrigerator.
Disconnect the wiring plugs from the housing.

gently pull one water tube through the hinge. (Avoid
kinking the tube.) Next, gently pull the other water tube
through the hinge, again avoiding kinks. Finally, gently pull
the wiring bundle (including the grommet and wiring plugs)
through the hinge.
