How to replace LG side-by-side refrigerator doors?
To replace the doors on your LG side-by-side refrigerator, follow these steps:
1. Gather the necessary tools: You will need a Phillips screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, and a helper to assist you with lifting and holding the doors.
2. Unplug the refrigerator: Before starting any work, make sure to unplug the refrigerator from the power source to avoid any electrical accidents.
3. Remove the top hinge cover: Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry off the top hinge cover located at the top of the refrigerator door. Set it aside for later use.
4. Disconnect the wiring harness: Locate the wiring harness that connects the refrigerator door to the main unit. Carefully disconnect the wiring harness by pulling it apart.
5. Remove the top hinge: Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws that secure the top hinge to the refrigerator. Once the screws are removed, lift the door slightly to disengage it from the hinge. Set the door aside in a safe place.
6. Remove the bottom hinge: Repeat the same process for the bottom hinge. Remove the screws and lift the door off the hinge.
7. Install the new doors: With the help of your assistant, align the new door with the bottom hinge and secure it with the screws. Then, align the top hinge with the door and secure it as well. Make sure the doors are properly aligned and level.
8. Reconnect the wiring harness: Plug the wiring harness back into its corresponding socket to restore the electrical connection between the door and the refrigerator.
9. Attach the top hinge cover: Snap the top hinge cover back into place by pressing it firmly until it clicks.
10. Plug in the refrigerator: Once you have successfully replaced the doors, plug the refrigerator back into the power source.
Remember to consult your LG refrigerator’s user manual for specific instructions and diagrams that may be applicable to your model.
