how to replace hinges on integrated fridge freezer

[vardhanr]

Hi,
The top hinge (of 3) on the fridge part of my Bosch integrated fridge freezer has broken.
I have managed to get the replacement hinges from Bosch, but am a bit lost on how to change them.

The existing hinges are fitted to the wooden carcass and to the door.

Any tips on
- how to access the screws
- do I have to remove the whole fridge freezer?
- do I have to push the whole thing in and then access it?
- how do I ensure that the door and the body of the fridge are aligned so that there is a good seal?

Thanks for your help

When I swapped over the hinges of my hotpoint fridge freezer to change the side that the door opened form left to right, I had to lay the appliance on its back to access the bottom hinge from the underside and then the top hinge just slipped out. HTH

thanks graeme

I managed to figure it out. had to essentially remove the fridge from the carcass by undooing the bracket on the top. then I slid it out and the hinges were in fact bolted to the fridge as well.
