Remove Doors and Hinges
IMPORTANT
:
• Remove food and any adjustable door or utility
bins from doors.

ready to lift them free from the cabinet.
NOTE:
Provide additional support for the
refrigerator door while the hinges are being
removed.
DO NOT
depend on the door gasket
magnets to hold the door in place while you are
working.
TOOLS NEEDED:
5/16", 3/8", 1/4" hex-head
socket wrench, #2 Phillips screwdriver, and a flat-
blade screwdriver.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly
and pull it toward you.
3. Starting with the right-hand side door, remove
the parts for the top hinge as shown in Top

General Information
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure of
between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is
required to operate the water dispenser and ice
maker. If you have questions about your water
pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply
coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to
the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to
be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to
be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the
filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refill after heavy usage.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
(cont.)
• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may
further reduce the water pressure when used in
conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.
Remove the water filter.
If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.
