Bottom Door Hinge
For your convenience, the refrigerator doors have bottom hinges
with door closers. These closers allow the doors to swing fully
closed with just a gentle push.
IMPORTANT: So that the closers feature will operate properly, the
doors must be removed only when open to a 90° angle to the front
of the cabinet. If one or both doors were not at a 90° angle when
removed, the bottom door hinge must be reset.
