How to hang the refrigerator door: repair recommendations + step-by-step instructions

Identification and self-correction of seal failures

Local identification and correction of breakdowns associated with the refrigerator door, which are quite realistic to eliminate on your own, can be identified by several points.Firstly, during a visual inspection, when the refrigerator door does not stick well and then opens easily or sags heavily, you will need to carefully remove the protective cover from the hinges (if any) and tighten the door to the required level. It is possible that the gap that appeared is associated with subsidence of the refrigerator door.

Secondly, if the loose fit is due to the deformation of the rubber seal, because the material loses its elasticity over time, it can be returned to its previous state by heating. To do this, you need to heat (pour) the deformed area of ​​​​the seal with a heating device (industrial or household hair dryer) or a thin stream of boiling water from a kettle, and while it is elastic, give it its original shape by placing a spacer under the heated area (a piece of rubber, paper or dense foam rubber) .

Thirdly, before adjusting the refrigerator door and trying to restore the damaged seal, you will need to pull off its edge with a thin screwdriver and consider the method of attachment. It happens on bolts, glue, special clips or in slots (grooves). The replacement of the seal on the body (or door) of the refrigerator, in whole or in part, is carried out by measuring the old element and gluing it instead of the new one into magnetic strips prepared in advance, which are inserted into the cavity of the gasket profile. In the absence of a native seal, you can try to order and buy a universal one.
A similar repair of a worn or damaged rubber seal is most often performed only if it is installed on a refrigerator such as Atlant, Minsk or Oka.

Other problems, in addition to replacing the gum seal, when a small one is required, is the creaking of the door or its reinstallation. You can eliminate the appearance of a creak in the following way:

1. Identify a loop (or several loops) that creaks when opening / closing the refrigerator door.
2. Eliminate the defect with a drop of engine oil by dropping it into the door hinges (in no case should vegetable, i.e. edible oil be used for this purpose).

Thus, simply adjust the hinges by raising them (as far as free play allows) and dripping a few drops of oil onto the axle in order to get rid of the annoying squeaking sound.

Another, no less difficult job of self-repairing the refrigerator is adjusting the door when it is reinstalled or sagging, which is carried out using plastic adjusting washers. Depending on the size of the door sagging, such washers will need to be purchased from 2-4 pcs.

In order to adjust the refrigerator door with your own hands when sagging, you need to carefully remove the door by unscrewing the refrigerator panel and removing its fasteners at the top. Then you will need to put adjusting washers (1-2 pcs.) on the bottom bracket pin and adjust the door horizontally. Next, it remains to “put” the refrigerator door in place, checking it for distortions and cracks, as well as for a tight fit of the rubber to the body (or door) and the operation of the light switch in the refrigerator.

If a break in the landing hole is detected, the door will simply need to be hung on the opposite side, where it is intact. Similarly, adjust the door for distortions (see description above) using adjusting plastic washers.If the hole breaks in two places and it is impossible to hang the door, it will be necessary to strengthen the plate on the damaged surface using “cold welding”. Then prepare a hole for the axis of the bracket of the appropriate size and hook the door to its original place.

A refrigerator is an absolutely ordinary household unit for every modern home. True, sometimes it is quite difficult to choose a model that will successfully fit into the kitchen environment. This is due to the design features of the refrigerator. Most often, the doors of Indesit, LG, Samsung and many other brands of refrigerators open from left to right. This is not always convenient. If the arrangement of furniture in the kitchen requires a different arrangement, the question may arise of how to outweigh the door of the refrigerator.

Of course, the easiest way is to call the wizard from the service center. For an appropriate fee, he will easily solve your problem. But if you want to save a little, then after reading this article, you can easily do it.

Step by step instructions on how to rehang the refrigerator door

Initially, it is necessary to clarify whether it is possible to swap the door in the design. For most modern models, information on how to rearrange the doors on the refrigerator is contained in the instruction manual. It should follow the step-by-step sequence of actions for re-hanging:

• before the re-weighing procedure, be sure to de-energize the equipment;
• we fasten the door on the side with a self-adhesive tape so that it is not damaged after dismantling;
• remove the plugs from the mounting holes with a knife or screwdriver;
• unscrew the bolts from the upper loop and disassemble the fasteners;
• holding the door from below, at the same time remove the bolts of the lower fastening;
• we put the plugs removed from the upper part into the vacated holes.

Let's move on to the bottom of the refrigeration equipment:

• fix the lower part of the door with tape;
• remove the rubber from the pin and unscrew the fastening of the hinge with an open-end wrench;
• peel off the tape, lift the door up;
• we release the mounting holes from the plugs, install them in free channels;
• if necessary, rearrange the handle;
• reinstall the pin and bottom mount to the opposite side;
• using tools, we rearrange the fasteners to the other side;
• assemble in reverse order.

Important! After re-hanging, it is necessary to check how tightly the door fits to the body. If cracks and gaps are formed, it must be adjusted

When the door is installed on the other side

Rehinging refrigerator doors is relevant in several cases.

• Changing the configuration of the room or its design. If the redevelopment done in the kitchen does not allow the door to open normally to the right, you have to install it on the opposite side.
• The need for changes arises when the door to the body does not fit snugly. As a result, warm air enters the chamber, increasing the temperature and the load on the compressor.

Opening to the right side of the refrigerator doors is inconvenient to use. For example, if the owner has a left working hand, in connection with which it is more convenient for him to open to the left. In these circumstances, hanging the hinges will facilitate the use of household appliances.

Important! First you need to inspect the sealing rubber. In case of deformation, contamination or wear, it is enough to replace it with a new seal.

With two-chamber models of the unit, do-it-yourself repairs are much easier to carry out (the doors are removed one by one). In single-chamber technology, one solid door from the inside of the freezer is dismantled.

How to quickly fix a skewed refrigerator door?

The curtains of the refrigerator are a very tricky detail. They are attached to the door plane with pins. In order to remove the door and get to the fixing bots, you need to put the refrigerator on its side, with the curtains up. Do not put on the back wall - there is a chance to damage the thin tubes that conduct the substance for cooling. This is fraught with serious consequences.

Having examined the bottom, it is easy to notice the small bolts that secure the lower curtain of the door. By removing it, you can literally "pull" the door out of the upper groove. After that, the bolts (rarely self-tapping screws or rivets) of the upper curtain will have free access. Sometimes they are closed with a plastic cover - it is easy to pry it off with a knife, and put it in place after the repair is completed.

The backlash of curtains is determined quite simply - if, with a small load, the curtain "walks" from side to side, rotates or makes a knock, it must be fixed more tightly or even replaced. Bent pins and cracks are a sign of worn part and should be replaced.

• Bolts — it is necessary to level the curtain (90 to the level of the bottom, in line with the lower curtain) and fasten with a wrench. Sometimes, to strengthen the structure, a thin counter-washer is used, which does not allow the bolt to unwind.
• Self-tapping screws - a similar procedure, only here you need a screwdriver with a slotted or Phillips slot.
• Rivets are a bigger problem. You can rivet using a special set of tools similar to a metal punch. If possible, replace the old rivets with self-tapping screws or bolts. Thus, you will quickly repair the door and at the same time do not damage the refrigerator box.

Bottom door curtain

If a crack was found in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bmounting the bracket, it's not scary. Most refrigerators allow installation of fasteners on the opposite side. To do this, you need to remove the doors, release the sockets for the pins from the plastic plugs on the other side and assemble the refrigerator, install the curtains on the other side. Cracks or holes in the old mounting location must be covered with plastic covers (included with the refrigerator) or treated with epoxy (cold welding) in case of a serious crack.

Replacing the factory seal in the refrigerator?

For quick installation of sealing fridge door rubber bands can not be removed from the hinges. However, you need to work in a well-ventilated room - the smell of toxic glue can be detrimental to your health.

So, if the problem is in the seal, then the first thing to do is to remove it. Factory rubber bands are one piece that is glued to the metal with an all-purpose adhesive. Removing the gasket is easy - just pry it with a sharp knife and pull it with your hand. In most cases, it will be possible to remove a large piece with one jerk.

After that, it is worth removing the remnants of industrial glue. A rag with soapy water or a rough sponge soaked in alcohol works well.For especially strong types of glue, chemical solvents will have to be used. The choice of solvent should be based on toxicity - it is worth choosing only species that are safe for the respiratory system.

After removing the old layer of glue, you must order or make yourself a new seal. It is not difficult to find a suitable one for popular models of refrigerators. You should look for a rubber part by the exact model name of your device. For older models, rubber band gaskets will do. They are sold in hardware stores by the meter or in special rolls of fixed length.

How to stick a rubber band to the door in the refrigerator?

The best option is Moment glue for rubber, metal, and ceramics with an average strength indicator. Too powerful glue will be more difficult to remove from the door leaf after unsuccessful pasting or during the next repair.

New seal on an old fridge

Some types of gum have a groove connection or are screwed on with self-tapping screws. In this case, glue is not needed. Gluing takes place in two stages:

• Applying a thin layer of glue to the corners of the rubber square, leveling with a water level, stretching.
• Gluing the entire perimeter with small portions of glue.

It should be borne in mind that the glue for rubber sets in 15-20 minutes. This is sufficient time for the alignment and stretching of the sealant. When gluing the perimeter, firmly press the rubber to the metal - the strength of the bond depends on this. If possible, use clamps. After complete drying, it is necessary to remove the bubbles and wipe all the perimeters with a detergent. The refrigerator is ready for further use.

Possible causes of refrigerator leakage

In most cases, repairs are not required to remedy the situation. You just need to examine the camera and find the reason why it does not close. Some housewives load the shelves on the door so much that they cannot withstand such a load and warp. It is best to store heavy jars and food on the main shelves. Also, often the reasons that interfere with tight closure are poorly retracted shelves or handles of pots and pans.

Poor hinge lubrication or wear

If the shelves are half empty, and the refrigerator door closes but holds together, it's worth checking the hinges. Maybe it's time to lubricate them? There are universal lubricants in building materials stores, but regular machine oil will also help out. With the help of the liquid composition drawn into the syringe, loosen the fastening screws and drop onto the axis.

old sealant

Also, seals wear out over time. Rubber loses its elasticity, becomes hard, inflexible, with numerous cracks, changes color, acquires a yellowish tint. You can replace the seal yourself by ordering the necessary component in a specialized store, or by contacting a service center for help from a qualified craftsman.

Spacer wear

The door itself will help to state this malfunction - it does not close and is noticeably shifted to the floor. Most often, older generation refrigerators suffer from this. This plastic element is located at the junction of the door and the main part of the device, and is responsible for smooth opening and closing. You can close the door as follows: lift it up and slam it shut. To repair this part, you need to make an application to the master to replace the spacer.

uneven floor

The reason for a poorly closing door may be unevenness on the floor and, as a result, the appliance tilting to one side. To remedy the situation, it is enough to twist the legs or place additional support under them, aligning the device with the building level.

Door sensor failed

Only modern models of refrigerators are equipped with a similar function. They are responsible for the behavior of the door. If the refrigerator is open for longer than a certain time (40-50 seconds), the sensor informs the consumer about this with an audible signal. But as soon as such a sensor fails, it gives deceptive signals. If the tightness of the refrigerator is not broken, but the sound notification of the device does not turn off, you must contact a specialist to repair the electronic system.

Why hang the door on the refrigerator?

Such a desire may appear in left-handed people, since it is not always convenient for them to open the refrigerator with their right hand. In rare cases, it becomes necessary to replace the seal, as it wears out during operation.

Features of rearranging the door on the refrigerator

Before removing the refrigerator door, carefully inspect the hinges. They should have additional holes that provide for the possibility of altering the door. If there are no additional holes in the hinges, then you should not even try to reinstall the door. There are refrigerators in which manufacturers did not conceive this interesting feature.

Carefully read the warranty card that comes with the refrigerator. Manufacturers often include door reinstallation in warranty service.

Pay attention to where the wiring is laid.If you forget about this nuance, you can accidentally damage several wires, and then the refrigerator will stop working altogether.

How to rearrange the refrigerator door on the other side

In some situations, it may be necessary to rehang the refrigerator door. In many models of refrigerators, this is not possible, which is better to know in advance. The whole process of work is easy to do on your own, you just have to figure out whether and how exactly you can outweigh the door of the refrigerator.

Why move the door to the other side

Installing the refrigerator door on the opposite side of the cabinet is required for the following reasons:

• Changing the interior of the kitchen. In the place occupied by the refrigerator in the new layout, there is no way to freely open the door.
• The door closes tightly. In such a situation, it is necessary to rearrange the door faster, since warm air enters the refrigerator through the gap between it and the body. Because of this, the temperature inside rises, and the compressor has to work with a double load to compensate for the temperature difference. With such processing, the equipment will quickly fail. Sometimes it is not necessary to rearrange the door, it is enough to check the sealing gum.
• If it is too worn, dirty or deformed, then you first need to change it.
• You are left handed. Left-handers are more comfortable opening the door on the right.

Training

Before starting work, you need to check whether this possibility is provided by the manufacturer. This information is indicated in the instructions for the refrigerator. If it is lost, then you need to inspect the door of the refrigerator.

When there are technical holes on the opposite side of the hinges, you can change the opening of the door to the opposite side. If there are no holes for hinges, then the model is not designed for this.

At the preparatory stage, you need to do the following:

1. Get all products from the chamber.
2. Unplug and let thaw.
3. Move the appliance away from the wall and furniture.
4. Get drawers and shelves, especially glass ones.
5. Remove magnets.

During re-hanging, the unit must not be allowed to tip over or placed on the rear wall. This can damage the compressor.

In the course of work on hanging the door of the refrigerator chamber, use:

• wrench, screwdriver,
• knife or spatula to remove decorative caps,
• masking tape,
• sheet of paper.

To move the refrigerator door to the other side, use the following algorithm:

1. After disconnecting the unit from the mains, take masking tape and fix the door on the side so as to prevent it from falling during removal.
2. Using a knife or spatula, remove the plugs from the technical holes.
3. Unscrew the bolts and remove the hinge fasteners. If you can’t get the hinge, then you need to remove the entire top panel. To prevent the mount from deforming, the door is held from below. In this position, the bolts of the lower hinge are unscrewed.
4. In some models of refrigerators, you can remove the door by slightly lifting it.
5. If the purchase did not include spare parts, use the same parts on the other side.
6. Swap the plugs from the mounting holes, rearranging them from the left to the right. The hinges are mirrored.
7. The assembly is carried out in the reverse order, but on the other side.
8. If the refrigerator is two-chamber, then a similar process is carried out with each door in turn.
9. The last step is to check the tightness of the seal. First, check the seal visually for gaps and cracks. If they are, then adjustment of the door is required. When there are no visible gaps, they check with a paper sheet. It is inserted between the body and the sealing gum, tightly closing the door. You need to pull the sheet: if it falls out easily, then the rubber does not fit snugly and adjustment is required. If you can’t pull out a sheet of paper, then everything is done correctly.

How to hang a door with a display

In models of refrigerators that are equipped with a display, there is a control module. This slightly affects the progress of the work on hanging the door. The process itself for reinstalling it is the same, however, you additionally need to deal with the control module cable and transfer the wire to the other side. If you are unsure, it is best to consult a professional. Otherwise, you will need:

• remove the top cover of the housing and disconnect the cable. In order not to confuse the wiring diagram, it is better to take a picture or write down the sequence of your actions,
• unwind the loops and direct the wires in the opposite direction. Then put everything back together. It is better to connect the control module after re-hanging. The last thing left to do is reinstall the top cover.

Installing the refrigerator door on the opposite side is not very difficult. But even so, it is better to find out all the nuances before starting work. So you will not make mistakes that will lead to equipment breakdowns.

Training

1. Get all products from the chamber.
2. Unplug and let thaw.
3. Move the appliance away from the wall and furniture.
4. Get drawers and shelves, especially glass ones.
5. Remove magnets.

In the course of work on hanging the door of the refrigerator chamber, use:

• wrench, screwdriver;
• a knife or spatula for removing decorative plugs;
• masking tape for painting;
• sheet of paper.

Common problems

The main defects of the refrigerator door are a loose fit to the body or, conversely, difficulties with opening. In the first case, poor contact of the sealing element can cause damage to the compressor due to overload. In the second option, the main thing is the inconvenience in using the unit for its intended purpose.

Hard door opening

The seal sticking defect is observed in the latest models of refrigerators for the first time after purchase. A vacuum is created inside the refrigerator, which sucks the sash to the refrigerator body. This happens if the time interval between the first and second opening of the door does not exceed 3 minutes. Physical explanation of the problem: room temperature air enters the refrigerator compartment during the first opening, where it is instantly cooled and compressed.

If you try to open it after a few seconds, the door will open with difficulty. Within a few minutes, the pressure in the refrigerator equalizes due to the suction of air through the door seal. After a few months of operation of the refrigerator, the rubber-magnetic gasket will lose its original adhesion.

Sag adjustment

A common cause of a skewed refrigerator door is an excessive load of food on its inside. Under their weight, the upper loops come out of the grooves. Strong and frequent slamming when closing the refrigerator can break the fastening of the sash

It is important to level the unit. An uneven floor will cause the door to buckle on its own over time due to gravity, especially if the gasket is worn and weakly adheres to the refrigerator body

The reasons for the departure of the door are determined using a quarter of a notebook sheet, which is applied to the seal and the refrigerator is closed:

1. The paper falls out without being held in the opening, which means that the hinges are loose.
2. In some areas of the gasket, the paper is held, in the rest it falls out. The door does not close due to rubber deformation.
3. When closing, the door receives a reverse impulse and moves away: failure of the spacer (the plastic part at the bottom of the door for older models of refrigerators).

A loose door will allow warm air to pass through. As a result, to maintain the temperature at the proper level, the compressor will work without interruption. In this mode, it will quickly fail.

creaking

The door of a new refrigerator may creak when opened, until the hinges have developed. A creaking sound may indicate that the grease has dried on the hinges and the metal parts are rubbing against each other.

How to remove the top cover of the refrigerator with your own hands: an algorithm of actions

To dismantle the cover, it is recommended to install the unit in the middle of the room. This will allow you to move freely around it. But for this you need to disconnect the device from the power supply, clean the chambers from food and defrost.

Instructions for dismantling the top cover is as follows:

• all shelves and cells are removed from the refrigerator and freezer, including from the door;
• if necessary, clean the walls;
• next, the top cover is inspected for the presence of plastic plugs that can be hidden with the help of facing strips
• due to a knife or a flat screwdriver, they are tucked away and removed from the mounts;
• under the plugs there should be metal bolts (often they are designed for a Phillips screwdriver) - we unscrew them;

How to remove screws from the top cover

• on the refrigerator there may still be protective rails (slats, seals), which are often fixed with latches - you can pry them up and open them with the help of an already used tool;
• the top panel is once again inspected for the presence of all the smallest details, after which you can remove the cover with your hands.

Direction of movement of the cover when removing

Different types of refrigerators have their own specific plastic latches that prevent the lid from moving freely. They may not be visible, but it is easy to detect them - by pulling the cover towards you, a certain stupor may occur at a specific point

So, attention should be paid to this particular area and look for a fixative. Manufacturers of some refrigerators already indicate in the instructions where there are plugs and latches, and how they are properly disconnected.

Therefore, before proceeding with dismantling yourself, you should first read the instruction manual. The fact is that in the upper part of the unit there may be components that are important for proper operation, which are easy to damage.If they are touched, then this can lead to a more serious breakdown, and then one cannot do without the help of specialists.

Refrigerator repair

Using the method described above, it is quite easy and simple to remove the refrigerator cover. And here you don’t even need any special tools and skills. If a particular model does not lend itself to self-disassembly, then it is recommended to immediately seek help from professionals. This will immediately save your finances, because inaccurate actions can completely disable the refrigerator.

Removing the decorative strip

Some designs of the device provide for the presence of a decorative strip, which must be removed before the process of dismantling the door. You will need a Phillips screwdriver to remove it. With its help, the fasteners are unscrewed, and the bar itself is pulled towards itself.

Some designs of the device provide for the presence of a decorative strip, which must be removed before the process of dismantling the door.

Under the decorative panel, some models have a layer of heat-insulating material. Before work, the foam must be removed. After the repair is completed, the bar is installed in its original place.

Instructions: how to change the refrigerator door to the other side

To rearrange the door from one side to the other, you need to prepare the necessary tools and follow a clear sequence of actions. There are no significant differences in working with various brands of refrigerators, whether it be Samsung, Biryusa, Stinol or Ariston.

Of the tools you need wrenches, a set of screwdrivers and a knife.

Before starting work, you should make sure that the refrigerator has the possibility of rehanging the doors. This will be indicated by the holes in the body on the other side of the doors. As a rule, they are covered with plugs.

Scheme of hanging the refrigerator door to the other side

Instructions on how to hang the refrigerator doors:

1. Using a screwdriver, remove the plugs from the bolts and disconnect all fasteners. While detaching the lower hinges, it is worth holding the door slightly to avoid it falling. The door can be removed after disconnection.
2. Next, you should remove the hinges of turns from the door, and install plugs in their places. Then all the loops need to be rearranged to the other side.
3. Then you need to re-hang the door, only on the other side. You need to start fastening from the top loop.
4. Next, you need to change the handles. Usually they are fixed with screws - they must be unscrewed. If the mount is hidden by plugs, you need to carefully pry them off with a small screwdriver or knife and remove them.
5. It remains to rearrange the door opening sensor. It must also be provided with appropriate holes.

If the refrigerator is equipped with a display, then it is better to invite a professional for such work, since you will have to rearrange the cable, and this is not at all easy.

A few additional tips:

• It is always necessary to put all the screws back, otherwise the insulation of the unit may suffer;
• If the refrigerator is single-chamber, you must not forget to outweigh the doors of the freezer;
• To better adjust the tightness of the door to the cabinet, it is necessary to tilt the refrigerator back a little using the adjustment feet, allowing the door to close by itself.

If the warranty is important to you, and its period has not yet passed, it is better to invite a specialist for such work so as not to lose the possibility of warranty service.

Features of outweighing from popular manufacturers

When rehinging the refrigerator door, it is necessary to take into account the design features provided by the manufacturer.

Atlant

The procedure for hanging doors in the Atlant refrigerator includes the following steps:

1. Removing the decorative panel. The fasteners are unscrewed with a Phillips screwdriver, the bar is pulled towards itself. Under it, at the refrigerator of the above brand, there is a layer of heat-insulating material. Before starting installation work, the foam is removed and put aside.
2. Removing the top loop. The mount is a plate with a pin on which the door rests. On the other side, a threaded bar is installed. The bolts of these parts are unscrewed with a hexagon. It is not necessary to secure the door with masking tape when performing a rearrangement.
3. Removing the freezer door. After unscrewing the fasteners, the element is disconnected from the pin and lifted up. If the refrigerator is two-chamber, you need to remove the door from the remaining hinge. After that, the caps of the bolts are removed. The middle hinge is completely removed, the door is lifted and set aside.
4. Removing the bottom mount. This detail in the Atlant refrigerator is also hidden under a decorative overlay that needs to be removed. After that, the loop is permuted.

To move the door to the other side, the above steps for the other side of the cabinet are performed in reverse order.

Bosch

It is not difficult to reinstall the Bosch refrigerator door, but before starting work, you need to study the instructions

Particular attention is paid to the presence of additional elements.Start re-hanging by removing the plugs and unscrewing the fasteners

After that, the hinges and the handle are removed from the door. Parts are rearranged to the other side of the case. When repairing refrigerators with a display, perform the following steps:

• remove the top cover of the device and look for cables;
• disconnect contacts by writing down their actions on paper;
• remove the top compartment door and remove the cable-hiding panel;
• the loop is unscrewed, the contacts are rearranged to the other side, the installation is performed in the reverse order;
• the cables are covered with a panel, the contacts are connected.

Indesit

To re-hang the facades of the Indesit refrigerator, you must perform the following steps:

• inspect the device and make sure that it can be reinstalled (not all models are equipped with the appropriate holes);
• disconnect the device from the power supply, remove the contents of the chambers;
• dismantle the handle, remove the plugs from the holes located at the intended installation site;
• unscrew the lower and upper bolts;
• remove the hinges and the door;
• change the arrangement of parts (the elements are rearranged to the opposite side of the body);
• perform the above steps in reverse order when assembling the refrigerator;
• adjust the position of the hinges.

In some models of Indesit refrigeration units, it is impossible to change the position of the housing elements without the use of additional parts. Most often, the products are included in the delivery of the device. The closing sensor is located in the central part of the body, it does not need to be rearranged.

Samsung

To outweigh the door of the Samsung refrigerator, you need to remove the cover of the device and disconnect the wires. After that, the loops are unscrewed and transferred to the left side.The bracket located in the lower part of the body is rearranged, changing the direction of movement. The design of Samsung brand appliances provides for a freezer opening limiter, which also needs to be moved to the left side. After installing the elements, the wires are connected, the cover is returned to its place.

LG

LG refrigerators are equipped with hinges that are unscrewed with a screwdriver with a suitable nozzle. The door may fall after being removed from the mount, so it must be fixed with masking tape, sticking it all over the side

When performing work, be careful. If the hinges are deformed, it will be impossible to install the door

Modern devices have an electronic control unit, the wires of which must be turned in the opposite direction. Cables are hidden under the decorative panel and the overlay of the top loop.

Ariston

The Hotpoint-Ariston refrigerator does not come with plastic inserts to change the mounting location. If a similar problem occurs, you can try swapping the top and bottom loops. This provides a mirror to the standard arrangement of parts.

The functionality of Ariston-Hotpoint includes an indication of opening. For this, the design provides a special sensor. A person who has at least once outweighed the facades of the Ariston refrigerator will easily find the part. It is removed from the housing and rearranged into the corresponding hole on the opposite side.
