Refrigerator Doors
Depending on the width of your doorway, you may need to

the door hinges are factory installed on the right-hand side. If you
want the door to open from the other direction, you must reverse
the door swing.

refrigerator or disconnect power. Remove food and any
adjustable door or utility bins from doors.

Style 1–Contour Doors or Style 2–Standard Doors. Reference
the graphic specific to your model later in this section
following “Final Steps.”
