LG Refrigerator – How to Remove and Assemble the Door

[LG Refrigerators] How to Remove & Assemble the Refrigerator Doors - Side-by-Side Refrigerator

Hello and welcome to LG's step-by-step guide on how to remove and assemble the doors on your side by side refrigerator.

If the pathway to your refrigerator installation space may be too narrow, in this case you may need to remove and reassemble the refrigerator doors.

We strongly recommend that you call your LG service center to remove and assemble the doors.

If you remove and assemble the door on your own you bear the risk of damage to the unit or self-injury.

If you wish to proceed on your own, the door removal and assembling requires at least two or more people.

Disconnect Water Line

Make sure the unit is unplugged and turn off the water supply line that is connected to the refrigerator.

Remove any food items bins or anything inside of the refrigerator before detaching the doors.

Do not hold the handle when removing or replacing the doors as this may cause the handle to come off.

Be sure not to lose or misplace any screws and parts while removing and installing them.

First let's disconnect the water supply line.

On the upper right part of the rear of the refrigerator you will find the water line. Remove the clip in the joint area and gently push down on the collet and pull the water hose out.

Next, unscrew the screws from the water line cover and detach the cover.

Remove Hinge Cover

Let's start with removing the hinge cover. The hinge cover is located at the top of the refrigerator.

Make sure you remove the screws then gently lift up the hinge cover. Be careful as there are wire harnesses connected underneath. The number of wire harnesses may vary depending on the model

Unplug all of the wires. Now that the wires are disconnected, let's start with removing the freezer door.

Remove the screw that holds the ground wire. The ground wire is only present on some models.

Now carefully pull out the water line hose.

Next turn the hinge lever to unlock the hinge and slide the hinge out of the wires and water hose.

While freeing the hinge be careful that the door does not fall forward.

Remove Freezer Door.

Now it is time to remove the freezer door. Gently lift the door up from the bottom hinge pin.

Place the door on a soft surface such as a towel or blanket. Never place the inside of the door on the floor.

Make sure all the rest of the hose reaches the back of the refrigerator.

Next reattach the ground wire if your refrigerator has one, and then plug the wire connectors on both sides of the refrigerator back together.

Gently put the wiring under the hinge cover and fit the hinge cover back into place. After it is securely back in place, screw the screws back in.

Connect Water Supply.

You're nearly done! Just connect the water supply hose on the back of the unit.

Push the water supply hose all the way into the connector until it stops.

Insert the tube all the way in then insert the clip on the joint to fasten the tube into place.
