REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
3 REMOVE THE FRESH FOOD DOOR
3.1 Tape the door shut with masking tape.
3.2 Using a 5/16" hex-head socket screwdriver and
a 5/16" open-end wrench, remove the two
screws holding the center hinge (and the shim
glued to it) to the cabinet. Lift the center hinge
to free its pin from the socket in the top of the
door, and set hinge and screws aside. Be careful
not to lose the center hinge spacer and washer.
3.3 Remove the tape and tilt the door away from the
cabinet. Lift the door from the pin in the bottom
hinge bracket. (If the plastic washer sticks to the
door bottom, put it back on the hinge.)
3.4 Set the door outside-up on a non-scratching surface.

3 REMOVE THE FRESH FOOD DOOR
3.5 Transfer the two screws from the opposite side of the
cabinet to the screw holes vacated by the center
hinge removal.
3.6 Transfer the washer (if your model has one) to the
opposite side.
3.7 Take one of the screws removed in step 2 and start
it in the outermost screw hole on the opposite side.
Do not drive it all the way down—leave enough space
under the screw head for thickness of shim and
bracket.
