Replace the Doors and Hinges
1. Replace both bottom hinges if removed. Make sure that the leveler
brackets are assembled behind the hinges. Tighten screws.
IMPORTANT: When the screws are tightened properly, there should not
be any gaps between the refrigerator, leveler bracket and hinge.
NOTE: There are two wiring bundles that run underneath the freezer - a
large bundle with a large grommet and two white plugs at the end, and
a small bundle with a small grommet and one yellow plug at the end.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to lift the freezer door.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
2. Before replacing the freezer door on the bottom left hinge, feed the
small wiring bundle through the hinge. Assistance may be needed.
IMPORTANT: Do not feed the large wiring bundle through the hinge.
This bundle is intended to run directly from the door to the connections
beneath the freezer. Forcing the large bundle through the hinge may
damage the door and/or the wiring and will keep the door from
closing properly.
3. Feed both water tubes through the bottom left hinge, then replace the
freezer door on the hinge. Assistance may be needed.
NOTE: Provide additional support for the doors while the top hinges are
being replaced. Do not depend on the door magnets to hold the doors in
place while you are working.
4. Align and replace the top left hinge as shown.
screws.
5. Reconnect water tubing and wiring.
IMPORTANT: Do not intertwine the water tubing and wiring bundles
when reconnecting them.
Water Connection Style 1: Push the larger ⁵⁄₁₆" (7.94 mm) water
tube into the blue fitting until it stops, then push the smaller ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) water tube into the green fitting until it stops.

Water Connection Style 2: Push the black water tube with the

the routing plate.
Gently route the large wiring bundle (with two white plugs)
through the hole in the routing plate, so that the wiring runs behind
the right side of the routing plate.
NOTE: The large wiring bundle should always remain below the
small wiring bundle.
Reconnect the wiring plugs to the electrical housing, then push the
housing back under the refrigerator. Align the left hole in the front
lip of the housing with the right hole in the refrigerator's base
crossbar. See Graphic 3
Reinstall the wiring clip over the grommets. First install the smaller
grommet into the top of the clip, then install the larger grommet
into the bottom of the clip (closest to the screw hole).

Align the clip's screw hole with the left hole in the electrical
housing and the right hole in the crossbar, and screw in the clip
using a single screw. Tighten screw.
IMPORTANT: Once connected, the wiring bundles should not be
taut. Some flexibility is needed to allow the freezer door to open
properly.
6. Replace the refrigerator door by lifting the door onto the bottom
right hinge.
7. Align and replace the top right hinge as shown.
Tighten screws.

fire, or electrical shock.

Leveling and Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two adjustable front feet — one on the right and one
on the left. In most cases, the refrigerator should be steady when both feet
are touching the floor. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if you want
the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below:
See
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location. If necessary, open both
doors to 90° and remove the base grille.
2. The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each side of the
product. See Graphic 8
See
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes
some weight off the leveling feet. This makes it easier to make adjustments.
3. Use a ¹⁄₄" open-ended or adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling
feet. Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that side of the product,
or turn it to the right to lower that side of the product.
NOTE: Both leveling feet should be snug against the floor, and the
rollers should not touch the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from
rolling forward when opening the doors.
4. Open both doors again and check that they close as easily as you
like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning the
leveling feet to the left. It may take several more turns, and you
should turn both leveling feet the same amount.
5. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the leveling feet
to the right until they are no longer touching the ground. This will allow the
refrigerator to roll more easily.
