Reversing refrigerator doors (general method)

Many top-freezer and compact refrigerators allow door reversal by moving hinges, the door stop and handles to the other side. Some models (including some stainless models) are not reversible, and French-door or side-by-side models generally are not. Check the instructions first.

Refrigerator dead: no lights, no display, nothing running

Work from the outlet inward: supply, cord, door/display harness, then the boards. Many 'dead display' calls on French-door and side-by-side units are harness faults at the door hinge, not failed boards.
