Default Reversing the door on a Kenmore refrigerator.

The refrigerator/freezer is model number 795.76284600. There are

Unfortunately, the bottom hinge doesn't have a removable pin to flip
to the opposite side. If it is removable, I can't figure out how to
remove it and reinsert it on the opposite side. Do I need to order a
bottom hinge for the opposite side? Thanks for your reply.


The manual for this model at
http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/lis_...M/L0606607.pdf
seems to be saying that the pin stays on the hinge when moved to the
other side, and the door just sets on it.
BTW, others should know this is a bottom-mount freezer drawer model.
No freezer "door" as such.


The mounting holes for the bottom hinge are mirror images (y-axis symmetry)
so that would force the bottom hinge to flip upside down and therefore there
is no pin to secure the bottom part of the door. Page nine of the owner's
manual appears to be incomplete as it seems to be missing reference numbers
and directions as to how to complete the reversal. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your reply.
