Grasp each side of the wiring plug. With your left thumb,
press down to release the catch and pull the sections of
the plug apart.

NOTE: Do not remove the green, ground wire. It should
remain attached to the door hinge.

4. Using the

³⁄₁₆" hex key wrench, remove the two internal hex

head screws from the top hinge, and set aside.
NOTES:

Provide additional support for the refrigerator door while
the hinges are being removed. Do not depend on the door
gasket magnets to hold the door in place while you are
working.

Do not remove the two locator screws. These screws will
help you align the hinge when you replace the door.

5. Lift the refrigerator door from the bottom hinge pin. The top

hinge will come away with the door.
NOTE: It may not be necessary to remove the bottom hinges
and brake feet assemblies to move the refrigerator through a
doorway.

Only if necessary, use a driver with a #2 square bit tip to
remove the bottom hinges and a

³⁄₈" nut driver to remove

the brake feet screws.

Remove and Replace Drawer Fronts

Depending on the width of your door opening, it may be
necessary to remove the drawer fronts to move the refrigerator
into your home.

If the refrigerator was previously installed and you are moving
it out of the home, before you begin, turn the refrigerator
control OFF, and unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
Remove food from the drawers.

Two people may be required to remove and replace the
drawer fronts.

The exterior refrigerator drawer front is connected to the
temperature control. Before removing the drawer front, the

disconnect this cable.

interior bin.
