REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
3 REMOVE THE FRESH FOOD DOOR
3.1Tape the door shut with masking tape.
3.2Using a 5/16" hex-head socket screwdriver and a
5/16" open-end wrench, remove the two screws
holding the center hinge 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.
3.3Remove 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.)
3.4Set the door outside-up on a non-scratching surface.

3.5Transfer the two screws from the opposite side of the
cabinet to the screw holes vacated by the center hinge
removal.
3.6Transfer the washer (if your model has one) to the
opposite side.
3.7Take 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 the bracket.
