How to Replace a Dented French Door Refrigerator

Many modern refrigerators come equipped with "French" doors. They are designed this way because it allows for easy access to the side-by-side refrigerator/freezer. Over time, it is possible to damage these doors, possibly by denting them. If you have a dented door on your refrigerator, there is no need to replace the entire fridge, because you can remove and replace the door yourself.
