Left and right hinge covers need to be removed
in order to access the components under the top
interface and to remove the doors.
Hinge Cover Removal
1. Remove one Phillips-head screw for the
desired hinge cover.
2. For the left hinge cover, use a at-blade
screwdriver inserted into the slot on the left
side of the hinge cover and pry to the right

hinge cover, proceed to next step.
3. Lift the hinge cover up to remove the cover
from the hinge.
The top interface houses the refrigerator door
switches, ambient thermistor, switch harness,
DC harness, and RJ45 connector and humidity
sensor board. If the interface needs to be
replaced, all of the components under the
interface will come as part of the assembly. If
a component under the interface needs to
be replaced, that component can be ordered
separately. To service any of the components
under the top interface, the top interface
must be put into the service position (see
the Top Interface callout under Cabinet Top
Components in this section of this service guide).
Top Interface Removal

2. Remove two Phillips-head screws.
3. Flip the top interface back (put into service
position).
4. Disconnect the AC and DC harness
connectors.
5. Remove the interface from the top of the
cabinet.
