grille panel at the top of the unit. It is taped
to the left side wall of the machine
compartment. When done, return the
mini-manual to its original location for
future use.
RATING PLATE
The rating plate, located inside the
fresh food compartment under the
right-hand storage drawer, contains
the model and serial numbers.
Additionally,therating platespecifies
the minimum installation clearances,
electrical voltage, frequency,
maximum amperage rating,
refrigerant charge, and type.

CABINET
Cabinet
The outer case is made of galvanized steel. The
fresh food and freezer liners are painted metal with
a smooth finish. Individual fresh food and freezer
compartments provide separation and enhanced
individual control between the compartments. The
metal liner provides a thermal break between the
interior of the refrigerator and freezer
compartments and reduces the transfer of heat
from the room into the fresh food and freezer
compartments. The liner is not removable or
replaceable.
Machine Compartment
The machine compartment is located on the top of
the unit and has a movable chassis that can be
extended from the front of the unit to provide
access to the refrigeration system and
components.
Caution: Avoidkinking therefrigeration lineswhen
sliding the chassis out and back in.
To extend the chassis:
1. Raise the grille panel to stop position.
2. Remove the wire guard and door cover.
3. Remove the door switch.
4. Disconnect the door closure mechanism
spring from the pin and remove the pin by
turning it counterclockwise.
5. Remove the 2 screws securing the inverter.
6. Remove the door spring.
7. Remove the 2 front (7/16-in.) bolts from tray.
8. Loosen the 2 rear (7/16-in.) tray bolts.
9. Pull the chassis forward until it reaches the
stops in the tracks, working the refrigeration
tubing as you pull the chassis out.
Note. When sliding the chassis back into position,
be certain the lines and wiring have not fallen
behind the chassis.

Spring
AllenHead Bolt

ActuatorArm
Door Closure Mechanism
The door closure mechanism uses a spring to
provide positive door closure from 30 degrees.
The door closure mechanism actuator arm has a
spring attached to the rear and is supported by
guide rollers on either side of the base channel.
The roller circumferences and the actuator arm
detents are matched for smooth operation. The
arm is attached to the door with an Allen head
shoulder bolt.
The closure mechanism allows easy opening to
approximately 90 degrees, where the arm has a
detent to permit the door to remain open at 90
degrees with minimal tension. Once the door is
opened beyond 90 degrees, the closure
mechanism pulls the door open until the closure
arm engages the door stop at approximately 130
degrees. The reverse action occurs when the door
is closed.
Note: The door closure mechanism and the top
door hinge are held by the same bolts. Take the
necessary precautions to secure the fresh food
door when the door closure mechanism is being
removed.
• The actuator arm is spring loaded with moderate
spring tension.
To remove the door closure mechanism
1. Remove the 3/16-in.Allen head bolt and
spacer from the door and actuator arm.
2. Disconnect the spring from the pin on the top
of the cabinet and pull the actuator arm from
the closure mechanism.
3. Remove 4 (3/8-in.) bolts and the door closure
mechanism.

WARNING: Use the appropriate safety equipment
and lifting techniques.
Caution: Use wood or a heavy plastic sheet to
protect the floor where the door will be placed.
Note: Unit must be removed from its installation
to remove center hinge.
Door
The door is of one-piece construction with foam
insulation. One-piece construction provides
superior thermal performance and reduces air
infiltration.
The inner door panel and outer door panel cannot
be separated and must be replaced as an
assembly.
1. Remove all food and bins from the inner door
liner.
2. Tape door to cabinet.
3. Remove the door closure mechanism (see
previous procedure).
4. Remove the upper hinge.
5. Remove tape and lift the door off center hinge.
6. Remove 4 T-27 Torx screws and center hinge.
Freezer Drawer
1. Loosen 4 screws connecting each side of the
freezer door to the slide/support assemblies.
2. Lift door up and out to remove.
Door and Drawer Gaskets
The fresh food door and freezer drawer have
magnetic gaskets that create a positive seal to the
front of the steel cabinet. The magnetic door
gaskets are secured to the fresh food door and
freezer drawer by a barbed edge that locks into a
retainerchannel.
1. Starting at any corner, pull the old gasket out of
the retainer channel.
2. Soak the new gasket in warm water to make it
pliable.
3. Push the barbed edge of the gasket into the
retainerchannel.
