Sheila December 17, 2015 for Model Number PDR20KSEALES or PDR20KSELES I just bought this GE bottom pull out freezer refrigerator. The hinge for top door is on the left and I need it on the right. When I purchased it, I thought it could be changed but it seems there is no kit available for me to do this. Do you know of any kit or anything that I could do to get such a hinge kit to change from hinge on the left to hinge on the right. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Sheila. REMOVE THEREFRIGERATOR DOORTape the door shut with masking tape. Remove the hinge cover on top of therefrigerator door by carefully prying it up witha putty knife, if necessary.Using a 5/16? socket ratchet/driver, removethe bolts securing the top hinge to the cabinet.Then lift the hinge straight up to free the hingepin from the socket in the top of the door.Carefully remove the door thimble from insidethe socket. This will be used again whenreinstalling the door on the other side. Remove the tape and tilt the door away fromthe cabinet. Lift the door off the center hingepin. Ensure that the plastic hinge pin thimbleremains on the hinge pin or inside door hingepin hole located in the bottom of the door. Set the door on a non-scratching surface withthe inside up. Remove the hinge pin from the hinge bracket.The hinge pin will be used again with the newhinge bracket for the other side. Using a 5/16? socket ratchet/driver, remove thebolts securing the center hinge to the cabinet.Set the bolts aside. Transfer the plug button and screw holecover in the hinge holes on the left sideto the right side. A new hinge bracket is required for the leftside (supplied in the door hinge kit). Installthe 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 ofthe bottom of the refrigerator door byremoving the two screws.Move the plastic hinge hole thimble tothe opposite hole.Install the door stop on the left side, makingsure to line up the screw holes in the door stopwith the holes in the bottom of the door.
