Installation Notes

Appliance repair technicians and knowledgeable DIYers typically perform door hinge replacements. Disconnect the appliance from its power source before beginning any disassembly. For refrigerator door hinges, remove any food or door-stored items to reduce door weight and prevent damage during removal. Follow the appliance service manual torque and fastener guidance, and confirm door alignment and seal contact before returning the unit to service.
