For Ge Kit Hinge Changeable (Part Number: OEM13088964)

1 Answer

Hello Sheila. REMOVE THE
REFRIGERATOR DOOR
Tape the door shut with masking tape. Remove the hinge cover on top of the
refrigerator door by carefully prying it up with
a putty knife, if necessary.
Using a 5/16? socket ratchet/driver, remove
the bolts securing the top hinge to the cabinet.
Then lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge
pin from the socket in the top of the door.
Carefully remove the door thimble from inside
the socket. This will be used again when
reinstalling the door on the other side. Remove the tape and tilt the door away from
the cabinet. Lift the door off the center hinge
pin. Ensure that the plastic hinge pin thimble
remains on the hinge pin or inside door hinge
pin hole located in the bottom of the door. Set the door on a non-scratching surface with
the inside up. Remove the hinge pin from the hinge bracket.
The hinge pin will be used again with the new
hinge bracket for the other side. Using a 5/16? socket ratchet/driver, remove the
bolts securing the center hinge to the cabinet.
Set the bolts aside. Transfer the plug button and screw hole
cover in the hinge holes on the left side
to the right side. A new hinge bracket is required for the left
side (supplied in the door hinge kit). Install
the center hinge from the kit on the left side. Install the hinge pin into the new hinge bracket. Remove the door stop on right side of
the bottom of the refrigerator door by
removing the two screws.
Move the plastic hinge hole thimble to
the opposite hole.
Install the door stop on the left side, making
sure to line up the screw holes in the door stop
with the holes in the bottom of the door.
