How to Remove the Frame of a Frigidaire GLHS267ZA

The Frigidaire GLHS267ZA is a side-by-side refrigerator with an automatic ice and water dispenser on the freezer door. While most users will never need to disassemble this refrigerator, some troubleshooting and repair will require that the refrigerator frame be removed first in order to access the interior components. Always disconnect the power to the refrigerator prior to performing any repair or disassembling tasks.
