Installing panels on a panel-ready refrigerator can be a daunting task. But with the right guidance, it can be done quickly and easily.
First, you will need to measure the refrigerator to determine the size and shape of the panels that you need. Measure the length and width of the refrigerator doors, as well as the depth of the door handles. Measure the space between the door handles and the interior of the refrigerator. Then measure the height of the refrigerator from the floor to the top of the refrigerator doors.
Once you have all the measurements, you can purchase the panels that you need. Panels for panel-ready refrigerators come in a variety of materials and finishes, so its important to choose a material and finish that will match the existing design of your kitchen.
Once you have the panels, the next step is to install them. Begin by removing the door handles from the refrigerator and unscrewing the hinges from the refrigerator door. Lift the door off the hinges and set it aside. Next, line up the panels to the refrigerator doors and mark the holes where the screws will go. Use a drill to create the holes and then affix the panels to the doors using the screws provided.
Once the panels are affixed, you will need to attach the door back to the hinges. Begin by placing the door on the hinges and then re-attaching the handles to the door. Make sure the handles are secure and that the door is properly aligned.
The last step is to apply the panel trim. This trim is used to protect the edges of the panels and to create a more finished look. Trim is available in a variety of materials and finishes, so choose one that matches the existing design of your kitchen. To install the trim, use a nail gun to attach it to the panels.
Installing panels on a panel-ready refrigerator is a simple and straightforward process. With a few simple tools and a bit of patience, you can easily transform the look of your refrigerator and add a touch of style to your kitchen.
