Question:

How do I Remove the glass on the vegetable or crisper drawers?

Answer:

Caution: Exercise caution when working with glass, as it can break and cause injury Never clean a cold glass shelf with warm or hot water, as this could cause the glass to shatter. Wait for the glass to reach room temperature and then clean it with lukewarm water.

When you need to clean the glass above the vegetable or crisper drawers, you can remove the glass so it is easier to get to hard-to-reach areas.

If your fridge has the simple shelf setup, removing the shelf is not complicated at all. Fully open the doors and remove the vegetable drawers. Lift up one side of the shelf with one hand. While supporting the shelf with this hand, slide the shelf out with the other hand.

If your fridge has the more complex setup, you will need to unlatch the glass from the top of the crisper drawers to clean it:

• Remove the lower door bins and remove both of the crisper drawers. To remove the drawers, angle them slightly toward the center of the fridge while sliding them out.

• Locate the tabs on both sides of the drawer divider and the water filter housing. There is one on each side, just behind the roller wheel. Push and hold both tabs inwards and lift the shelf out from the water filter housing.

Note: The tabs may have a slightly different appearance but will be in the same location.

• Carefully dislodge the glass shelf from the back wall of the refrigerator by slightly lifting up while pulling it out. To remove it completely from the fridge, it helps to angle one side of the shelf downward while pulling it out. Then, carefully turn the shelf over and place it on a clean, flat surface.

• To remove the glass from the plastic frame, locate the shelf's retainer clips. The retainer clips are located on the back left and right corners where the glass meets the white plastic. From the top side (where you'll reinsert them later) they look like small white squares.

• Now, turn the shelf over and find the clips again. You will remove them from this side.

• Each clip has two tabs holding it in place. To remove the clip, push in the tab that is closest to the center of the shelf, while lifting the back corner of the shelf slightly. With enough pressure on the tab, the clip should fall out and the shelf will come loose on that side. Remove the other clip in the same way.

• Once both clips are removed, gently raise the shelf and then separate the glass from the shelf frame.

• To reinstall the glass shelf, repeat the previous steps in reverse.
