Almost all modern models of household refrigerators have a universal door opening mechanism. If for some reason the original position does not correspond to the configuration of the furniture in the room, a relatively simple repair refrigeratorwill allow you to change the position of the curtains. These repairs do not negatively affect the operation of the household cold generator.
Where should you start repair work
Before you start work, you should at least disconnect the household device from operation. Remove from the door all food and foreign objects that could negatively affect the work. Remove all additional accessories that could be damaged during door manipulation. Reduce the physical load on the part to make it easier to work with:
- Prepare a set of flat and Phillips screwdrivers.
- Use ring or socket wrenches for unscrewing.
- li>A flat knife or spatula for working with the seal.
- The operating instructions for the refrigerator will also be required.
- An additional pair of hands as an assistant.
Changing the position of the refrigerator door independently is quite possible for a person who, in principle, knows how to hold a wrench and a screwdriver in his hands. Just don't do it yourself. Without much practical experience and a certain skill, too much time may be spent on the entire process. Be careful not to damage the electrical cable; repairing it will be much more difficult.
Recommended algorithm of actions
As mentioned above, it is better to read the original operating instructions before starting work. She will tell you what other non-standard tools may be required. What is the best thing to do before starting dismantling work? In any case, the instructions will answer most of the important questions that a home master may encounter:

- unscrew the electrical cable, if it passes in this place;
- now you can unscrew the bolts attaching the refrigerator door;
- detach the doors from the hinge as carefully as possible;
- rehanging should always start from the bottom hinge.
