Removing refrigerator doors for delivery.

Removing doors isn t as easy as in the past. Lift the hinge off the body of the refrigerator and out of the refrigerator. Review the owner s manual before removing the doors and remove the toe plate if recommended. Once you ve disconnected the water line and electrical cable and emptied the shelves in the door you can remove the door.

However since the handles are shipped inside the refrigerator and are installed after the refrigerator is inside door removal is often not necessary. Use a nut driver to remove the one or two hex screws holding the refrigerator hinge to the top of the refrigerator body. In my opinion this was very smart. To do this you unscrew and remove the hinge bracket on the top of the door.
