Remove Doors and Hinges
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before removing doors.
Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Open both doors to 90°. Remove the base grille by removing
the two screws, then pulling out on the outside corners as
shown below.
NOTE: The doors must only be opened to 90°. If they are
opened all the way, the base grille will not come off.
3. Disconnect the water tubing, located behind the base grille on
the freezer door side. The dispenser tubing runs through the
door hinge and must be disconnected in order to remove the
door.
NOTE: On models with the ice storage bin on the door,
there are two water tubing connections, as shown. On
models with the ice storage bin inside the freezer, there is
only one water tubing connection.
� Water Tubing Connection Style 1: Press the colored
outer ring against the face of the fitting and gently pull the
dispenser tubing free as shown below.
A. Face of Fitting
NOTE: Keep the water tubing connector attached to the
tube that runs underneath the freezer. The door cannot
be removed if the connector is still attached to the tube
that runs through the door hinge.
� Water Tubing Connection Style 2: Firmly pull on the
clasp to release the tube, then pull the water tubing free as
show below.
NOTE: Keep the clasp attached to the tube that runs
underneath the freezer.
4. Disconnect the wiring, located behind the base grille on the
freezer door side as shown below.
A. P–Clamp D. Wiring Clip
B. Routing Plate E. Grommets
C. Electrical Housing F. Wiring Plugs
On models with the ice storage bin on the door:
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.
� Remove the P-clamp using a 1/4" hex-head socket
wrench. Remove the small wiring bundle from the P-clamp.
� Remove the wiring clip using a 1/4" hex-head socket
wrench.
� Pull the electrical housing out from under the refrigerator.
Disconnect the wiring plugs from the housing.
� Gently pull the large wiring bundle (with two white plugs)
through the routing plate.
On models with the ice storage bin inside the freezer:
NOTE: The wiring configuration is simpler than what is
shown in the above graphic. There is only one wiring
bundle with one wiring plug, and there is not a routing
plate.
� Remove the wiring clip using a 1/4" hex-head socket
wrench.
� Pull the electrical housing out from under the refrigerator.
Disconnect the wiring plugs from the housing.
5. Close both doors and keep them closed until you are ready to
lift them free from the cabinet.
