■ If you want to reverse your doors so that they open in the
opposite direction, follow these steps. If you are not reversing
the doors, see “Replace Doors and Hinges.”
■ The the graphics shown are for a right-hand swing
refrigerator (hinges factory installed on the right).
Right-Hand Swing to Left-Hand Swing
If the door hinges were factory installed on the right-hand side of
the refrigerator, follow these steps.
1. Remove cabinet hinge hole plugs from the cabinet top and
move them to opposite side hinge holes. See Graphic 7.
2. Remove door stop from both the freezer and refrigerator
doors and place them on the opposite side. See Graphic 8.
3. On the bottom of the refrigerator door, move the wire/tube
assembly so the connector points toward the opposite
(bottom-hinge) side. See Graphic 2.
4. Locate the water dispenser wire/tube assembly behind the
left-hand side of the bottom rail. Break the tape and pull the
loose end out from the bottom rail. See Graphic 9.
5. Unscrew the hose clip from the right-hand side of the bottom
rail and remove it. Replace the hose clip (with the tab pointing
down) on the left-hand side wire/tube assembly. See
Graphic 11.
IMPORTANT: Do not completely tighten the hose clip to the
bottom rail at this time.
6. Connect the right-hand side dispenser wire/tube assembly to
the connectors located near the right-hand side of the water
filter. Push the connectors and wire/tube assembly behind the
bottom rail. See Graphic 9.
7. Go to “Replace Doors and Hinges.”
Left-Hand Swing to Right-Hand Swing
If the refrigerator doors have already been reversed to left-hand
swing and you wish to change back to a right-hand swing, follow
these steps.
1. Remove cabinet hinge hole plugs from the cabinet top and
move them to opposite side hinge holes. See Graphic 7.
2. Remove door stop from both the freezer and refrigerator
doors and place them on the opposite side. See Graphic 8.
3. On the bottom of the refrigerator door, move the wire/tube
assembly so the connector points toward the opposite
(bottom-hinge) side. See Graphic 2.
4. Push the left-hand side dispenser wire/tube assembly behind
the bottom rail. It will not be reconnected. See Graphic 9.
5. Unscrew the hose clip from the left-hand side of the bottom
rail and remove it. Replace the hose clip (with the tab pointing
down) on the right-hand side wire/tube assembly. See
Graphic 11.
IMPORTANT: Do not completely tighten the hose clip to the
bottom rail at this time.
6. Disconnect the dispenser tubing and wiring plug from the
connectors located near the right-hand side of the water filter.
Push the wiring plug and connector tube behind the bottom
rail. They will not be reconnected. The wire/tube assembly will
reconnect later with the door. See Graphic 10.

Replace Doors and Hinges
NOTE: Graphics and steps may be reversed if the door swing is
reversed.
1. Assemble the parts for the bottom hinge as shown. Tighten all
screws. See Graphic 6.
2. Replace the refrigerator door.
NOTE: Provide additional support for the doors while the
hinges are being moved. Do not depend on the door magnets
to hold the doors in place while you are working.
3. Remove the
⁵⁄₁₆" hex-head screw from the center rail. Loosen
the two screws on the side just enough to replace the center
hinge. Replace the center hinge and center rail screw. Tighten
all screws. See Graphic 5.
4. Reconnect the wiring plug. See Graphic 3.
5. Reconnect the water dispenser tubing by pushing the tubing
into the fitting until it stops and the black mark touches the face
of the red outer ring. See Graphic 10.
6. Gently push the wire/tube assembly into the clips on the bottom
of the refrigerator door. See Graphic 2.
7. Replace the freezer door.
8. Assemble the parts for the top hinge as shown. Do not tighten
completely. See Graphic 4.
9. Line up the doors so that the bottom of the freezer door aligns
evenly with the top of the refrigerator door. Tighten all screws.
10. Open the refrigerator door a full 120°. Locate the black electrical
tape on the wire/tube assembly. Make sure the hose clip is
covering the tape and tighten the hose clip completely. See
Graphic 11.
