EdgeStar TWR181ES Use and care manual

Door replacement for TWR181ES units
Occasionally the door for an EdgeStar TWR181ES wine cooler may get damaged in
shipping or become otherwise inoperable. In these situations, the door is easily
replaceable.
Tools and parts required:
1 flat head screwdriver
1 phillips head screwdriver
1 replacement door with LED already installed (supplied by EdgeStar or dealer)
Make sure the wine cooler is completely unpacked and on a level surface before
attempting this operation. Also make sure that the wine cooler is not plugged in. If you do
not feel comfortable making this adjustment yourself, consult a technician.
Step 1:
Insert the flat head screwdriver underneath the hinge cover and gently pry the edges of
the hinge cover up. Note- be careful not to scratch the finish of the wine cooler.
Step 2:
Once the hinge cover has been pried up somewhat, grasp it with your hand and lift it off.

Step 3:
Note that the wires are all different colored- and the wires connect “like color to like
color”.

Disconnect the wires by holding one end of each wiring harness in each hand and pulling
the wiring harness apart.
Step 4:
Using the Phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the three screws holding the metal hinge to
the body of the wine cooler.
Step 5:
Carefully remove the hinge from the body of the wine cooler with your hand. Caution-
the hinge will no longer be holding the door in place on the front of the wine cooler.
However, the door will likely stay on the front of the unit regardless.

Pull the wires that come from the body of the wine cooler through the hole in the hinge. It
is easiest to pull these wires through the hole one wiring harness at a time.

Step 6:
Now you can grasp the door and lift it off the lower hinge. Be careful- the door is heavy.
Replacing the door:
Take your replacement door and reverse the steps above. A few helpful hints:
•Before tightening the screws holding the hinge to the body of the wine cooler,
make sure the door can open smoothly and that when closed, the door gasket seats
tightly against the body of the wine cooler.
•When connecting the wires, remember to connect like colors to like colors.
