Removing And Replacing Doors - General Electric Side-by-Side 21 Bedienungsanleitung Und Installation

Removing and replacing the doors.
When installing or moving the refrigerator, the doors may need to be removed in order to fit the refrigerator through
a doorway.
Removing the Doors
Make sure the doors are closed and the refrigerator
is unplugged.
Disconnect water line and wiring harness.
Near the lower hinge on the freezer side, push in on
the collars at each end of the coupling, and pull the water
line tubing from the coupling. Also, disconnect wiring
harness. Pull the water line and the harness through
the lower rail.
Remove the hinge covers and the hinges.
In order to access the hinges, the hinge covers need to
be removed. Remove the cover by grasping it on the sides,
near the back of the cover. Push back on the cover and
lift up at the back, then the front.
NOTE: DO NOT use a screwdriver to remove the cover. BE
CAREFUL not to break the rear retaining tab on the hinge
cover. Remove the hinges using a Torx T-20.
Remove the doors.
Carefully rotate the door to 90° . Guiding the disconnected
water line and wiring harness, lift the door straight up.
NOTE: Not lifting the door straight up may damage
the bottom hinge. Place doors on a protected surface.
NOTE: Be careful not to pinch the water tubing and the wire
harness at the bottom of the door.
NOTE: Do not allow the connector to contact the floor.
Hard contact can damage the connector. See "Replacing
the Doors."
Replacing the Doors
Place doors on bottom hinges.
With the door at 90° , lower the door straight down onto
the bottom hinge. Carefully close the door.
NOTE: Not lowering the door straight down onto the bottom
hinge may damage the hinge.
NOTE: Do not allow the connector to contact the floor.
Hard contact can damage the connector.
Replace top hinges and hinge covers.
Reinstall the top hinges using a Torx T-20. Replace the hinge
covers. If the doors are not level, adjust the bottom right
hinge with a 7/16" open ended wrench.
Reconnect water line and wiring harness.
Insert water tubing back into coupling, making sure the
tubing is pushed far enough into the coupling so that you
no longer see the mark on the tubing. Reconnect the wiring
harness.
Turn on the water supply and plug the refrigerator back in.
