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.
Yes the drawing is a bit hazy :-(

It seems to me that there is something wrong with the bottom hinge you
have. Looking at my Sears frig. (2 door top freezer), I suspect the
parts are the same as yours, but the hinge in question has the pin
sticking out from both sides, so whichever way it is installed (left
side or right side of box), there is a pin that sticks UP for the door
to swing on.

On the hinge you have, does it look possible to hammer the pin back so
it sticks out the other way ??

The part drawing at
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/index.jsp
(enter the model # and look at the "Case Assy" section)
is not much help either, except that it only shows one part # (282B)
for the hinge, not anything like separate left and right versions

BTW to other posters, on these Sears models, the hinges do swap
side-to-side, not top to bottom (yes, there are some that do that)

--Good luck

Thanks for your reply.

Well, with the hex head on the pin, the picture sure makes it look
like the pin is meant to be unscrewed from the hinge and then screwed
back in on the other side.
