Custom Door Panels

Creating Custom Wood Panels

If you plan to install custom wood decorator panels, you will need

to create the panels yourself or consult your cabinetmaker or

carpenter. See dimensional drawings for wood panel inserts.

Flat panels:

You can create a custom flat panel a maximum of ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm)

thick to replace your decorator panels. Flat wood panels less

than ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) thick are not recommended.

Raised panels:

A raised panel design can be created by screwing or gluing wood

panels to ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) backing or by using ³⁄₄ in. (19.05 mm)

stock with routed edges. Raised panels should be spaced

2¹⁄₄ in. (5.70 cm) from the back edge of the handle to allow room

for fingers to grasp the handle.

Weight requirements for raised panel inserts:

■ Refrigerator door panel should not exceed 28 lbs

(12.7 kg).

■ Freezer door panels should not exceed 21 lbs (9.5 kg)

combined weight.

Installing Custom Wood Panels

1. Remove any packing tape.

2. Remove the refrigerator and freezer door trims from the hinge

side of each door by pulling the trim away from the bottom of

the door first.

3. Partially unscrew the two screws that hold the top trim in

place. It is not necessary to completely remove the screws.

Loosen the screws approximately ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) from the

trim to allow the panels to slide freely.

4. Remove the existing door panels, if panels were provided.

5. Slide custom door panels into place.

NOTE: The freezer door panels may require ¹⁄₈ in. (3.18 mm)

cardboard fillers behind the panels to keep them from being

loose in that area.

6. Replace the hinge side trims by inserting the notched end

under the top trim first.
