Thanks for the vid. Word to wise: When I tried to pry the caps off the top of freezer door (opposite of hinge), two out of three caps snapped off leaving the remainder of the cap in the hole. Had to drill out the broken pieces. Did everything correctly, they just were too stubborn. Also, when switching these doors it's amazing how cheaply fridges are built these days. Definitely not Norge quality from back in the day.

This comment should be pinned. I was in the same boat and ended up drilling through the broken pieces. The caps should have been designed better to be easily removed.

Hello. So I had a tenant from below Hell that decided to reverse the doors himself, and ended up taking every single piece of hardware related to the swinging functionality of the doors. WRT518SZFM. Where can I find the exact replacements of all the part? Your help is much appreciated.

The hinge on the top of the fridge between the fridge and freeEr doors dips down a slight bit onto the rubber gasket that goes around the whole door to seal it closed, keep th cold in. So when tou flip the hinge to move it to the left side from the right now it humps up and doesnt dipbdown into the door. Its not straight like the one in your video that keeps it same shape put one direction or the other. What do u do with THAT.? Do i need a reversal kit or something in order to reverse the door? Its got to be flipped. I can hardly get into it the way it opens now. So frustrating!. I called whirlpool... went to Lowes... No one knows anything about anything meanwhile i cant get into damn fridge. Help!
