Most of the Whirlpool's are the same way and they usually rivet the rail to the door hanger.

I get a throw rug or a few towels to lay down on the floor. Then remove all of the food to make it light. There is usually a long phillips screw about halfway down the rail that needs to be taken out and then a white snap lock behind it you can push in and give a tug. The door,hinge hanger and rails will come out as one so inch it out and set off to the side.

This is not the correct rail and is only used to show approximate,not exact location.

I guess the better question is why do you want to remove it? we might be able to save you some time and grief since this is not a simple process unless you have done a few

SOURCE: LG bottom freezer

Sounds like the refrigerator is sitting lopsided.  Make sure that the front legs are both retracted in the up position.  If it doesn't work, then lower the front leg on the hinge side of the refrigerator.  That will cause the frame to lift the door and it should be able to close properly.

SOURCE: I want to remove my Amana Refrigerator handles

The handles are probably attached with screws from the back -- this will require removing some panel(s) to access them.

Check the fan blade on the fan in the freezer. It could be an object or ice, frost, anything. If this is an Amana Whirlpool, definitely check to see if the fan blade is no longer tight on the motor shaft and has moved forward and hitting the guard in front of it. ( yes, amana whirlpool )

You have a dfrost problem if at all possible remove food from refrigerator and unplug it, leave the doors open. By morning the freezer should be defrosted and that will buy you time to fix or call someone. defrosting can be quickened with use of a hair dryer. This is only a TEMPORARY fix and freezer will need to be defrosted again after 4-5 days.

SOURCE: How do I install a

The procedure is as follows:---No adhesive required. The gasket goes inbetween the inner and outer door panels.
Before replacing the gasket, soak the new gasket in warm water for an hour or two, then dry it with a towel.
Open the door, remove door bins, then starting from the top replace the door gasket in sections. Mentally divide the door in quarters. Remove the old gasket from the upper 1/4 and install the new gasket in place. Then the 2nd 1/4, etc. This will help keep the door panels even.

Keep in mind that you have to give it about 24 hours for the new gasket to take shape. After 24 hours, do the dollar test to make sure it's sealing correctly.

Dollar test: very simple. Slide the dollar bill inbetween the door and the cabinet, close the door and pull on the dollar. If you feel resistance, it's fine. Do this about every 6 inches all around the door. If you come to a spot where you don't feel any pull on the dollar bill, try adjusting the gasket.
-----------
The other procedure to do the same freezer door gasket replacement is as follows:--- Heat the new gasket in the bathtub to get it smooth and shaped right, then remove door, put it on a flat table, loosen all the screws, and remove gasket. Put the new one on, tighten screws and mount door. Use a hair dryer to smooth it out. Sometimes necessary to duck tape the door shut overnight to get it to seat properly. Also helps to have the fridg leaning back a bit, helps pull in the gasket.

How do you remove the freezer drawer on a bottom freezer?

Most of them sit on a rail if it slides out, feel at the front of the rail for a push in clip or just lift up & forward, it will be reasonably tight so be a bit firm, good luck.

Water leaking into bottom of refrigerator section

Make sure you dry everything in the freezer when you have the door open and remove ice. It won't be a leak it will simply be the warm air inside the freezer that has turned into condensation. Double check the seal around the door to see if it curled up as that could be letting warm in and cold out giving same results.

The freezer door will not close tight

Hello, check the freezer sliding door rail. Removed everything in your freeze then gently slide out the freezer door. Check the bottom of the freezer for food items that may have dripped into the bottom of the freezer. Now, the check the roller rails along each side of the freezer there could have been widget that got smash by the roller on the freezer door, if you find this smashed widget--he not drunk--he is dead. Scrape the those roller rails and clean the and get all the globs,ice cream, widgets, pieces of other different types of freezer flub.
Next, set a level on the freezer door and see if the bubble is point forward, if not then screw up the front two leveler in the front of the freeze--one on each side in the front of the freezer/refrigerator. I hope this help you. GB...stewbsion

Repair#2 Take your freezer door off remove the rails take a blow dryer and dry the rails untill you do not see any more water then add a sylcone based greast to the ball bearins on the rails and resinstall. Repair#3 Order a whole new set of rails.

How do I remove the bottom freezer door from an lg refrigerator. Can't get it through the doorway?

After 9 days I imagine you have solved your problem but for those searching for an answer this is what we had to do. In the owners manual on page 15 it tells you to open the drawer fully, remove the lower basket (large one) by tilting the door. Now it states to press both hangers with your thumbs to lift it up. "Hangers" had us stumped. They are little notches, latches that you press in (depress) to release a locking effect, if I remember correctly each side has 2. This allows you to remove the white plastic rail covers. Next remove the 2 white screws; one on each rail near the bottom front. Then with both hands, hold both sides of the freezer door and pull up to separate it from the rails. We not only had to remove the freezer door but the 2 french doors as well. Hope this helped

My frost free freezer is icing up on the bottom of the freezer. Occasionally find water on floor No

If the ice is clear and frozen on the floor of the freezer the defrost drain line may be plugged causing the water to over flow the
drain trough and leak into the bottom frezer compartment.

This will require a service tech. to remove the rear panel inside the freezer and find the reason for the blockage of the drain line.
ie....
Mold or slime in drain line
Debirs covering the drain inlet hole
Out of spec defrost heater.

If the ice is fluffly like snow then the freezer door may not be sealing properaly.
With the freezer door closed check the door gasket all the way around the freezer door.
If a gap is seen on one side the freezer door may be misaligned.
To realign freezer door remove all ice with a hair dryer.
Soak up all moisture on the metal rails and inside the freezer.
Pull freezer door all the way out unitll it stops serveral times.
This may realign the freezer door.
If not the door slide rails,Track or Roller gears may need to be replaced.

Frozen Water in Pan behind freezer drawer.

yes you will have to remove the freezer door and go through the front of the unit. the door itself is the easy part to get off, it lifts off the rails, you may have to remove a screw a few inches back fromm the freezer door on both freezer rails(phillips head screw, ). empty the freezer pullout before trying to remove. after that the the pull out upper shelf comes and thenyou can remove the horizontal rails , the ice maker drops down and then the back wall can be removed
