Bought an LG Fridge at the end of 2023 and the manual did not have this information. I am happy that the official youtube does have the instructions how to change the door orientation.
The video itself is of great quality. The instructions are clear, concise and easy to follow.
The video itself should not be hidden. Either added to the manual, or official LG page, or somewhere else to be easier to find.
Thank you for the compliment and you are right. However, in some countries LG has different service procedures and wants to have this procedure done by a professional, because things can still go wrong , for example the guiding of the wires through the hinge is a meticulous job. Nevertheless we try to make this as transparent as possible.
@@LGSAE In the UK the instructions state "this must be done by LG appointed engineer otherwise the door will not be covered by the warranty". This is not stated on the John Lewis site, only that the work can be carried out by them before delivery..........for £35.
Great to have clear guides to do simple jobs like this created by LG and not have to rely on third parties! 🙂
Glad you like it! If you have other video suggestions, feel free to post a them. :-)
Can't understand why people are so grateful for this video. This information should be provided in the manual, not hidden on RUclips. Especially since companies that sell those fridges simply stopped offering the service to change the hinges on the doors, blaming COVID-19 and lack of personnel.
Thanks for your feedback. The door reversal is indeed something that could be put in the owners manual. And it is up to the retailer to offer a service such as door reversal.
That’s enough social media for today, Karen
I found a plastic pry invaluable - used the one from an iPhone repair kit I have. You will need hex sockets 10mm and 6mm and a 5mm hex bolt key. You likely need to order a mini ratchet set if you don't have one. Also, to pry the top freezer mount from the door I used a wood chisel with a flat side and a bevelled side - worked MUCH more easily than the screwdriver example given here and I think if done carefully will cause less plastic damage too. My fridge was identical without the harness. The difference when you take the top of the door apart is you dont need to undo two screws - it all comes away with a plastic pry only, with the pieces being removed in the same order. Thanks LG Europe - you have been MUCH more helpful than the UK who want us to pay someone a fortune for doing this job which is extremely straight forward with instructions and the right tools.
and which should be provided by LG or the retailler as part of your purchase anyway ...
It worked! Thanks for posting this video, as it would have taken me hours to figure this out otherwise.
For those making the switch - I used:
10mm socket to remove the top door bolts
6mm socket to flip the top pivot pin
5mm allen key for the middle and lower pivot brackets
large phillips screwdriver
old credit card as a pry tool
I used my finger to scrape some of the grease from the lower pivot pin to apply to the replacement pin.
Thanks for the additional feedback and tips Jason.
Im about to try this tomorrow - do i need to go out and buy a new hinge piece and wire piece as shown at 0:07? Or were those parts you took out of your fridge and re-used? Cheers!
Hi Jason and *THANK YOU* (that was a big thank you) for listing what size tools were needed. I was unable to ascertain what the two screwdrivers were; square drive or slot/flathead and the bigger one may have been a Phillips, Torx, Hex but with my eyes I couldn't make it out. A real shame that LG were unable to list them instead of using a low quality out of focus 720p video image that looked like it was added to the video.
I sincerely hope you have a good fridge and it runs trouble free for a very long time since it no longer has a warranty since the doors were not changed by an authorised/preferred service provider. One would think that a warranty warning would have been the first thing displayed at the beginning of the video.
When I first saw there was no information like this in the manual I got very frustaded, as one of the most important features for me when I bought it was to be able to switch doors. But this super helpful video saved my day, just what I was looking for. As someone already mentioned there should be a link or QR code in the manual to this video.
Until recent, LG policy was to have this done by SVC engineers. Latest manuals do include a guideline. We like your QR code suggestion and will forward it to development.
@@LGSAE I've purchased a 2022 LG Fridge and both the manual and online guide state that my warranty will be void if I swap the doors myself. No one has yet provided me with certified LG technician contact info
Thank you, excellent video, many companies could take a few lessons from you !! Clear, concise, detailed and great quality.
Thank you, much appreciated!
Managed to do it successfully, even though my fridge version is slightly different. Thank you.
Remember when the USA had good service and these companies would do this for you upon delivery, so you wouldn’t be screwed doing it yourself?
What a concept!
Thanks for the video, the step-by-step was really helpful to successfully change the door of our brand new LG fridge
Great to hear! Enjoy your new fridge.
Thank you! Спасибо! Очень доходчиво показано. GBB72PZEFN - комплект для перевешивания двери входит в поставку. Из инструмента понадобился ключ на 10, биты HEX5 и PH2. Да, и ещё пластиковая "поддёвочка" для работы с пластмассовыми защёлками. За всё про всё полчаса.
Amazingly good video - just followed it step by step and it has all worked out beautifully.
Great to hear!
Thank you. We used this as a guide on our LG GB455PL model and it was very helpful. It was lucky that no one was paying us by the hour but we did it.
Dear Cherie, thank you for your comment and glad to read that it helped.
i have GB455PL.. please let me know if you needed a special bottom-hinge for reversing (as the vid shows)? I think on this model you can reuse the original hinge? thank you
Very very useful video.
@LG: please mention this youtube channel into user manual
Just used this to reverse the doors on my brand new GBB72PZEFN, very clear video, thanks!
Great to hear! Good luck with your new refrigerator.
Very nice and useful video. Not sure, why the instructions were not included with the documentation. Some info that might be useful for future viewers:
- My model did not have the screws as shown @1:33 Prying the panel upwards was sufficient.
- Do not try to lift up the plastic as shown @7:12 Instead use pliers, grab from the metal extrusion and pull directly upwards.
thanks for your comments
Im about to try this tomorrow - do i need to go out and buy a new hinge piece and wire piece as shown at 0:07? Or were those parts you took out of your fridge and re-used? Cheers!
@@ray4669 How did it go for you? Which tools did you use?
Such a good video, helped me and my dad out a lot!👍🏼🕺🏽 very useful also!!!
Great to hear!
Just perfect instructions.
Thanks a lot !
You are very welcome, glad to be of service
Thank you very much for this! It was of great help! 👍🏻
Wea are glad it was helpful :-)
Thank you for the excellent video. What I don’t understand is why the parts weren’t included with my purchase. Our LG LRBNC1104S didn’t require us to disconnect any wires. The parts I purchased: AEH75596702 hinge assy (low left hinge) and MEG65719402 cord holder (covers left hinge)
Off topic: My fridge took over a month to deliver and was delivered without a box (said he left it in the truck for easier transport in the elevator) and a small factory sticker hid a small dent. Which I didn’t see until after I agreed all was good. I wrote to the LG for delivery info so I can file a complaint and received no response.
What I’ve learned: you must use Jet dry or your dishes will be wet after the cycle. To use each * functions you must press and hold the function you want to use down for 3 second and once all the functions are selected then press start. What I did wrong: was holding the start for 3 seconds.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks for your comments, noted and to be included. As for the parts, it depends per country if supplied or not.
Das Video ist perfekt um die Tür zu wechseln,grade erledigt funktioniert 1a😊
Good to hear, enjoy your refrigerator.
Thank you very much for this! It was of great help!
Glad it helped!
Awesome video! Easy as to understand!
Thanks Nathan
What a great video and instructions! Thank you. This is very clear. I think I need to get the tools from someone before attempting it. But it's good to have this option to chagne your door over if needed. 😃
Thank you for the positive feedback. And enjoy your LG refrigerator.
Super helpful video, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. It was extremely helpful !!
Glad to hear that!
Thank you for this information. I had no wiring harness on my GB-335wl model but all else matched up. was the same
that could be possible, yours has an internal display (searched and found it is an Australian model) We choose to use the external display unit to be as complete as possible
Thanks for the video. Wasn't an exact fit but managed to do the operation to GBB539SWHWB by adapting some of the steps.
Glad to be of help, we do not have all models, and we mainly try to work on EU products. But again, we do not get all the samples we would like to have.
@sp3ctum how did you remove the top plastic cover of the door? It doesn't seem to pry away.
@@DemetrisTziambazis might have been some screws that had to be removed. It's been a while so I don't remember exactly anymore.
This video saved my day!
Glad it helped you out!
Thanks i did it exactly as seen here and it wasnt as hard as i thought
Hi, does this video apply to the LG GBB62PZGFN? Also is it possible to give a description of the tools required? It's a bit difficult to see just from the picture or video for some of the tools. Thank you!
yes the video guided me to successfully reverse the doors of my LG GBP62DSNCN1 thank you so much!!! beers on me! 🍻
Great video!
thank you, spread the word
Gracias, gracias, gracias muchas gracias, perfectamente explicado, genial.
Thank you very much.
Absolut perfect video. thanks!
You're welcome! That's why we make them :-)
Im about to try this tomorrow - do i need to go out and buy a new hinge piece and wire piece as shown at 0:07? Or were those parts you took out of your fridge and re-used? Cheers!
Life Saver... thank you very much
You are very welcome
Thank you very much for this
You're very welcome!
very helpful thank you, my model didn't have the electrical connections to move but the rest was the same and I live in a remote area with no service people around
Glad it helped. Yes that can be difficult. And indeed, some of our models do not have electrical connections, as they do not have a integrated door display.
Excellent video, now I deer to do the job myself..
Thank you very much!
I used this video to reverse the doors on an LG GBB72PZEFN, which is slightly different to the model demonstrated. It can be done by one person, the doors aren't as heavy as they look, but two people would be better. (In the UK, it is misleading to say that the doors are reversable without pointing out that a further purchase is required.)
Thank you for using the video. When purchasing the appliance, the bottom bracket should be supplied. Which "further purchase" are you referring to?
@@LGSAE the further purchase is the hinge and also paying for the preferred service provider to do the job so you don't void your warranty (as stated in the manual). That's why there are not instructions in the manual on how to change the doors.
@@celineos8639 You don't need to purchase the hinge, it is included with the fridge. In case you throw it out, you need to purchase it again, but that's your fault, not LG's.
@@celineos8639 *WHAT?* I am helping an old friend change her doors so I haven't read her manual about the warranty being voided if the change is not done by an Authorised/preferred Service Provider. I would imagine she will not have understood that the warranty would be null and void as like all legal stuff it will be obfuscated in their usual mumbo jumbo fine print. It looks like LG are or have descended to the bottom of the pile with all the rest of the get out of -jail- warranty free legal trickery. Their products used to be really quite good.
*Thank You* for bringing the warranty voiding to my attention. I am most appreciative of this and will pass it on to my pensioner friend. 👍
@josephking6515 the warranty voided by the DIY door reversal is only to do with any issues regarding the door reversal. If done correctly there should be no issues. Now if someone starts the door reversal and finds it too difficult and then have to call out an Enginner, OR they misaligned the doors and the doors don't seal properly and then have to call an engineer, this is when someone will have to pay an engineer to fix the issue, that is not covered by the 24 month warranty. Basically and rightly so, they won't cover damage done by a person who shouldn't have attempted something beyond their measure.
A qualified engineer who comes out to check for example the compressor and sees the door reversed correctly and there's no sealing issues etc... the warranty is still covered.
Super video and very helpful, but you could have included some info in the user manual. For example a link to this youtube video.
Thanks for the tip!
They added different sentence to they manual :)
"Only qualified service personnel from LG Electronics service centre should disassemble, repair, or modify the appliance. Contact an LG Electronics customer information centre if you
move and install the appliance in a different location."
"Reversing the doors must be performed by the qualified personnel of LG Electronics. If not, the doors will not be covered by the warranty"
This is from LG Fridge&Freezer owner's manual. So, even if you want to move your fridge to different corner you need to call LG Electronics service centre. :) So here are no talk about reversing doors by yourself or you may loose your warranty.
Next fun sentence: "To remove frost from the appliance, contact an LG Electronics customer information centre." Do I need to call customer center to remove frost from inside of freezer?
5d d ed e÷ew.
To do it properly you have to pay the LG service provider - this is not made clear in any of the specifications on the LG websites and the retailers website, and you can spend as I did hours on the ph trying to get someone to have the decency to acknowledge that this information should be provided up front. Basically, you are not told which side the doors are hinged on and you cannot request a fridge with the doors aligned the way you need them to be. And then if you are in your 80s and living alone, you have to pay $200 to change the doors. And LG does not seem to realise that paying that additional amount should not be required of the customer who has specifically researched to find a fridge on which the doors can be reveresed. LG should indicate clearly that an additional amount will need to be paid to change the doors without voiding the warranty.
Thank you 10/10
Hi! Are the hinges designed for opposite mounting included when you purchase the fridge? Or do you need to buy them additionally? if so, from where?
Hi... they are included when you buy the fridge :)
This is different per country. For more details you can contact the LG Contact Center in your country
Hi LG, what is that short cable you can see at 0:07 used for? I watched this video a few times now and can't see where it's installed... THANKS!
Hi! I have this model: gbp61dspfn. Do I need any accessories to reverse my doors? I haven't nothing because I bought my house "with this fridge inside". Thank you for your answer.
At first delivery, there is always a left side bottom hinge included. If that is not available anymore, contact your local LG Service partner for this spare part.
Thank you for this super instructive video! One question: I have a GBP62PZNCC1 model, which has buttons for setting the temperature within the top panel that you remove at 3:55 and I wasn’t able to pry it loose after removing the 2 screws. Do you know of any additional clips/screws that I need to remove for this model?
Not really but because it has in integrated display you should indeed be carefull and perhaps look for an owners manul via your local LG support office, where door reversal instructions should be provided.
I hope you managed to figure it out in the end, but for anyone else with the same model as you and me: there's no other screws, it'll come off with some careful wriggling. I think there's some clips on the left and right. I didn't have a plastic prying tool, so I used a credit card instead. It's a great video even if the fridge is slightly different. Just be sure to follow all the steps, don't be like me and miss the parts on the bottom of the doors that need to be moved as well... which I didn't realize until putting the entire fridge back together.
Thank you for a very helpful video that made me realize that I should call an expert 😂
Im about to try this tomorrow - do i need to go out and buy a new hinge piece and wire piece as shown at 0:07? Or were those parts you took out of your fridge and re-used? Cheers!
apologies for the late reply. No, this should be included in the product package, same as the bottom hinge for reverse opening.
Thank you, very helpfull
You're welcome!
Will this procedure be very similar for the GB-335PL model? And what sizes are the tools used? Thanks :)
yes it is, philips no.2 and hex8mm
Hello mate nice video , i have the LG GBP62DSNFN, i do everything as you describe but i cant put the last plastic cover top left side, it just doesnt fit.any advice?
There should be a spare for the other side in the unit. depends on the models, some in the top cover, some in the bag with the lower hinge.
hello we have just purchased a LG LG GBB61wjzn lg refrigrator refrigrator and it was delivered today. We are waiting for a few hours to plug it in but we are not able to open the refrigrator or freezer doors. Do we have to plug it in first?
Nope, it should open normally, however sometimes there is tape used to hold the doors.
Excelente video. He podido invertir la puerta sin mayores problemas. Se debe tener cuidado con el cable en la zona de bisagra, esa parte no está muy clara en el video.
Excellent video. I was able to reverse the door without problems. You must be careful with the cable in the top hinge zone, this part is not very clear in the video.
Thanks.
I have an lbnc15251v right hand open currently. Do you have the part number for the bottom hinge so i can flip to left hand open please? Meaning opens from the left side. The reversal kit part number too please if you have it. thanks!
To make sure you have the right part I suggest you to contact your local LG helpdesk.
When purchasing a Model GB-455WL Fridge, is the bottom silver bracket, that in the Video you say can't be reused, supplied in the box at purchase..
What is the wire harness in the 7 second mark? I don’t see it again in the video?
Very well noted Dan. It is marked in the notes, but indeed not specified in the video itself. This is an extension cable for models with an integrated display (not shown in this video)
Should this apply for LG GBP31SWLZN?
I can't get the fridge door lifted off after opening the 2 top bolts holding the hinge in place in 2:30.
This seems to be a model with an internal display at that location, right? The procedure should be similar. Can you gently pull the fridge door towards you? Note that after taking out the bolts, the hinge is still hooked into the chassis, so wiggle it a little. The hinge must be getting loose from the chassis.
Hello, while I am majorly thankful for the video. I am curious. I have LG GBB72MCUFN and it does not have the top screws. Is there some additional video or suggestion about what to do? The screws that are removed at 1:30 of the video.
Are you sure they are not hidden under a cap? It could also be that you are able to pull the cover gently off
My fridge didn't have screws there either, it's all snap off, snap on.
@@quercophilia there could be little differences between models
Video molto utile, ho appena invertito la porta. Se il costo fosse modesto cioè inferiore o uguale a 50 euro lo avrei fatto fare ad un centro assistenza, ma visto che è quasi il doppio, pari al risparmio che ho avuto nell'acquisto, l'ho fatto io. Un cash back per intervento di inversione porte sarebbe una bella idea.
Hi @LG
Can you please provide the part numbers to purchase to reverse the door?
You really have to contact the Customer Center for that as it depends on the model you have.
What size ratchet part is being used in this video? It'd be really helpful to have a written list provided here as the manual has absolutely no information in it.
10mm and 6mm. You likely need to order a mini ratchet set if you don't have one. Also, to pry the top freezer mount from the door I used a wood chisel with a flat side and a bevelled side - worked MUCH more easily than the screwdriver example given here and I think if done carefully will cause less plastic damage too.
@@user-by8wb5gc3p thanks. in the end we got someone LG recommended to reverse it for us (didn't like the disclaimer that you void your guarantee if you do it yourself). Fortunately the cost was covered by John Lewis!
Hi, I reversed my fridge’s door yesterday and followed exactly every steps from this vdo. Apparently after reversing, the upper door isn’t aligned properly. It seems to tilt more to the upper left corner which I assume it affects the suction of the door when it’s close as the door suction doesn’t feel as strong as before reversion. Please advise, I really couldn’t figure out how to adjust the door alignment. Also, the bottom door isn’t seal properly. Do I also need to reverse the seal of the bottom door so it close properly?
Thank you very much.
Thanks for your feedback. It is advised to reverse the seal of both the freezer AND the fridge door. If this does not solve the problems with the suction please contact your local LG support channels.
@@LGSAE Thank you for your reply. I will try reverse the seals first and see if it’s better.
Looked for this: 02:56 btw best to leave it attached to the fridge to get it off
Thanks for the tip. However, this may damage the exterior so we chose to take it off.
Can i convert to built in my lg gbp61dspfn ? Is there build in door panels available as spare parts?
no, these appliances are for "free standing", for built in you need a different construction
Ein sehr gutes Video! Leider waren in meinem Kühlschrank billigste Schrauben verarbeitet, von denen eine sich zwar drehte, aber nicht raus kam - also überdreht war. Sobald man aber den Türanschlag anfasst, erlischt die Gewährleistung dafür. Der unfreundliche Mitarbeiter von LG wollte diese Arbeit für 200 Euro erledigen, was ich abgelehnt habe. Wir haben die Schraube mithilfe eines Fachmanns lösen können und so ist nochmal alles gutgangen. Es ist also nicht unbedingt empfehlenswert, den Türanschlag selbst zu wechseln. Sehr ärgerlich.
Thank you very much and glad it's solved in your case! Yes it's known that warranty may be void when doing it yourself. Too bad you did not have a pleasant experience with the LG contact center though. We will pass on your feedback to them.
Im about to try this tomorrow - do i need to go out and buy a new hinge piece and wire piece as shown at 0:07? Or are those parts I will take out of my fridge and re-use? Cheers!
See reply below. Answer is no.
@@LGSAE all good! My plans were delayed until today so it worked out well, thanks so much for being responsive it really goes to show purchasing better brands like LG is well worth it! 😀
Nice Video. Just wondering why you don't have instructions on flipping the leveling feet?
Thank you. Well this video applies to most of the bottom freezer models sold in Europe. However, you are right that some models require you to swap the leveling feet as well, well noted!
grazie milleeeee.....sono riuscita a farlo da sola...risparmiato i soldi del tecnico 😅
Can't read Italian, but you seem to be happy with the video, glad we could help.
Could you tell me where to buy special hinge cover for reverse door opening, it does not come with my refrigerator ?
It should be in either the topcover or in a bag that was in the drawer. Otherwise contact your local LG customer center.
Very helpfull, THX. Do I need to revers seals on both doors (I have GBB61SWHZN)?!
Best to do that indeed, to make sure both doors close properly
@@LGSAE Can you make or suggest a video covering that issue for GBB61... or similar?! THX in advance :-)

You are welcome
After completing all steps and placing the upper door on the hinge pin, and attaching the upper hinge, the door is slightly misaligned as it now is shifted a little left leaving 1/4" of the fridge body exposed on the right. Is there any way to adjust the alignment of the door?
normally that should not happen. ensure the center hinge is not off and the top hinge well bolted.
I am having the same problem
All of the time invested in the comments by LG could have been used to actually include this process in the manual.
Hi there, as with a few other people, I'm having problems with the fridge door seemingly being higher than it should be - I've tightened and readjusted everything and still can't get it down, which means when I put the plastic cover on the top hinge, it won't go on properly. I also have a seal that's compressed too much, and it doesn't seal the fridge door?
Thanks for sharing. depending on your model it might be the middle hinge, is it level (before putting on the door)? As for the seal, please take it off completely, rotate it 180 degrees and put it back on, then the sealing will be as it was. At the hinge side there is always a bit more compression, so when you reverse the door it will automatically be a bit more compressed that side, so rotate it with the door opening should solve this.
@@LGSAE hej LG,
having the very same issue. After switching the doors, the main door is 'too high' (2mm) so that I can indeed mount the door but the plastic cover does not fit and you can see when you're in front of the freezer that the door is 'hanging' to the right side a little bit.
Hello, I have a problem with the plastic part from 10:32 it doesn't fit properly as the door itself is a bit higher than normal.
I would highly appreciate it, if you share your experience with solving this issue.
Apologies for the late reply, I do not know why your door is higher, could it be a leveling issue? Or please check the fixing pin of the fridge door; is this mounted correctly? Otherwise contact your local helpdesk and check what could cause this.
Hello, did you ever find a fix for this?
Nice video, but a better one would have stated the socket and Allen key sizes.
Cheers
Great point, however as not all these models are exactly similar is terme of sizes it may be confusing for users.
Hi. Just purchased the
#LG454L Bottom Mount Refrigerator GB-455WL. What parts do i need to swap door around ?
they are shown in the beginning of video
@@LGSAE hi. By the way is there a wine rack for this fridge
@@Helloworldwrjfjrjrj For that you need to contact Customer Service, it is avaialbe for some models, it is a holder to be placed on a shelf for 2 bottles
The video is very explanatory. I would like to ask a question. After changing the way the door opens, the refrigerator door does not come face to face with the freezer door, it protrudes 5mm from the side of the opening and from the side of the hinges. This is ok. it is acceptable. Model GBB 72MCDMN.
thank you for your positive feedback, that's why we make such videos. Not sure how it exactly appears now in your situation. Did you rotate the door rubber as well?
@@LGSAE Thank you for your respond! Yes, we did. Actually the LG technician did it and he insists that the difference is normal for a LG Refrigerator. I do not think that this is true for your products though.
👍👍👍Thank you
You are welcome.
Please help me, door display on my fridge/freezer LG GBB60NSFZB in not displayed any parameters, it happened overnight. Is there any reset buttons combination?
Just unplug the power and wait 60 seconds, then plug it back in. Otherwise, the display connection might be interrupted. Check with your local support desk in that case.
Hello. If i want to change only freezer doors can i just release bottom one of freezer doors hinge change doors and tight it back?
Dear Customer, You cannot do 1 door only on an LG bottom freezer. The hinge in the middle is one assembly that hold the top of the freezer door and the bottom of the fridge door.
@@LGSAE hello. Its possible with right tools. Ive done that :D ofcourse its not the right way..
I've just got a LG-GBM22HSADH fridge freezer. The door reversal is startightforward until you get to the bottom hinge. A) it's not clear that the hinge is reversible B) there are no pre drilled bold holes on the underside as there are on the side where the door currently sits. The vendor - Hughes, who have been useless, advised contacting you. Please can you help? Thanks.
First, apologies for the late reply, we monitor these comments but not on daily basis. You are absolutely right, door reversal on the GBM models is indeed a bit different from the model presented in the video. Please take into consideration that you only require the supplied accesories. Since there is no bottom hinge in the package, this should give an indication that the current one can be reversed (unlike the 1 shown in this video). Actually the holes ARE pre-drilled, but it may seem they are not as there is a small bit of PUR in there. Just reverse the bottom bracket and the holes that it covers, you can turn in the leg at that point (it may require you to put some force when turning it in.) Let us know how it worked out please by replying to this post.
does the kit include the lower handle to change the direction of the door ?
everything you need to reverse direction should be included. Mat I ask which model number you have?
It says in the manual that if you flip the doors yourself they will not be covered by warranty.
Which separate video explains the additional step for fridges with an integrated display? Why not include a link to this in the above description?
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, this video is meant for authorized SVC staff; the required cable extension is not an orderable part for consumers.
Hi, Thanks for the video. What is the part number for the reverse door hinge for the bottom??
Please consult your local LG support office, as part numbers may vary depending on the exact model.
Thanks for that. I figured it out myself.
@@Marsd30 Hi - How did you find the part number - LG Australia is no help at all
@@Epic_SS Turns out I didn't need a part. Everything was included in the original door hardware
As shown, checking for alignment is important. I accidentally mixed up the old lower hinge with the new one, and got my bottom freezer door misaligned, keeping the door at a slight angle. It still would close and seal off though, hope this helps someone
Thank you for mentioning this Jort. Indeed we do not show a 'bad example' so this type of feedback is welcome.
Is this video applied to the Modell GBB92MCACP?
Yes it does.
After changing the door opening in a Model GBB 72MCDMN refrigerator, the distance of the door from the body of the refrigerator on the upper side is 10 mm, while on the lower side it is 14 mm, this is within the permissible limits. If not, what could be wrong? Thank you
I'm not sure which distance you've measured. Does the door seal close the door well? We always advise to reverse the door seal 180 degrees after changing door direction, especially when you have been using it for a while.
@@LGSAE The distance I measured is the distance between the door and the frame of the refrigerator at the point where the rubber goes around. It seems that the rubber presses with different pressure. Door seal reversed 180 degrees and the door almost did not press on the bottom side. It was much worse.
Does this instruction apply for model GBB62PZFFN?
yes it does
Bonjour j'ai LG GBB61DSJZN
Le cable (a la 0:08 minute de la vidéo) c'est pour quoi faire ?
C'est quelle référence ? Est ce obligé pour mon modèle ?
Merci
No, you don't need this cable. This cable is only required when you have a display that is inserted in the door at the top side of the door, we call this is metal touch display, since you do not see the display directly, only the leds. Hope this helps.
Many thanks Lg
Yesterday, I bought LG in Spain ... Model: GBB72NSUCN1 and would like to switch the doors but my LG Official Service in Spain told me that I may lose the warranty of my doors/refrigerator.Their Professional costs 100 euros to do this job!Wondering what to do now as it's expensive :-)
It is indeed a paid service if you request it to be done be a professional. If you take the steps as mentioned in the video it should work. One of the most important steps is to guide the wiring correctly and make sure it does not get stuck, for example at the hinge side. Good luck!
Ma gli accessori per permettere l’inversione quindi la cerniera e quant’altro, è fornito con il frigorifero o è materiale in dotazione ai soli tecnici LG?
Cioè lo posso fare a casa da solo?
Could you please rewrite in English, so we can support you, and the question also helps others.
LG have removed the screws and covered them from the top panel of the top door so I don't know how to take off that first panel now, can anyone help?
Dear Brashid, is the panel different from the one in our video?
Can anyone please tell me where to find that "supplied hinge"? 😢
It comes in the package when buying the unit. You may want to contact your local LG helpdesk. They may be able to help you.
The plastic part 10:32 is impossible to get on. When i first get it on, the door pushes the plastic upwards as i close and open the door. Makes a weird sound. What should i do? You dont really see how you do it in the video.
Dear, thank you for your comment. Please make sure the harness isn't too long, as it could bend (which could cause the sound you refer to) and guiding the harness behind the protrusions inside the cap. When putting the cap up, you should hear a click. Good luck!
@@LGSAE Thank you so much for getting back to me. I cant seem to get rid of the issue. Is it possible to send you a picture showing the problem?
I am also having same problem, it does not fit at all, tried couple time to do everything from beginning, didnt worked. Is there any solution to this?
Thank you for your help
The plastic cover at 10:45 does not fit perfectly with the cable inside when i try to turn the door and creats some noise.
Then check it carefully please. Does it ouch anything when turning? Are the wires guided properly? Are there washers aroung that area that come in contact with the cover?
does this apply to GB-455PL?
There are some differences and the user manual refers to qualified personnel to do this on your model, or warranty may be voided. I suggest you contact your local LG Customer support channels.
Which model is that?
Thats a pity the additional aprts are not supplied with the fridge (like in the case ov every other brand) and you have to buy them separately.... This made sure my next fridge won't be LG.
Actually all parts you need for reversal are supplied. In case you miss any part I would advise you to contact your local LG service center.
I just bought gbb72pzefnans im struggling hard to make this possible, don't wanna break anything and be called responsible for.. It's a shame there is no info st all sbout this in the manual. This fridge has obvious screws on the top.. The same does not hapoen with gbb72pzefn model
