Video Transcript

All you’ll need for this is a Phillips screwdriver.

Firstly, pull the front flap down and remove the two screws - pop these to one side for later on.

Then, gently manoeuvre the hinge from the two holes in the side of the freezer section and pull away. It might be tight to begin with, so remove it slowly.

Put the front flap to one side. Now, unpackage your new hinge which we’ll be attaching to the right side of the freezer section. Using the small circular hole on the freezer door flap, connect the left side of the freezer flap to the existing hinge on the left side as shown.

Connect the new hinge to the right side of the front freezer flap using the small hole on the other side. Then, using the two back connectors on the hinge, gently insert these into the side of the freezer and the lower connector into the freezer tray.
