Pulling the fridge out for service is really easy. The fridge is not very heavy and just held in by 6 screws.
1. Remove the top fridge door hinge screw with a 1/2" open end wrench.
2. Pull the top of the door slightly forward (to clear the hinge plate) and lift at the same time to lift the door off of the lower hinge stud. The door is light and easy to remove. Be sure to set aside the plastic washer that is on the bottom door hinge. Set the door aside.
3. Remove 6 retaining screws (3 on each side of the fridge frame). See pic.
4. Lift the front of the fridge slightly (to clear the floor molding and pull fridge straight forward between 12" and 24". You may have to slide a paint scraper or butter knife between the flange on the fridge and the wood cabinet to loosen it up a bit. Just try not to scratch the wood on the cabinet.
5. Reverse procedure to replace the fridge. Don't forget to put the plastic washer on the lower door hinge stud.
First picture shows the mounting screws. second pic shows the fridge totally removed but it also shows that small molding on the floor that you will need to clear by lifting the front of the fridge slightly.
Hope that helps.
