DOOR OPENING

1. Open the door and remove the filler plugs opposite 

the hinges. With the door completely open, remove the 

bottom screws from each hinge on the dryer face. Insert 

these screws about half way into the 

TOP

 holes, for each 

hinge on the opposite side (where you removed the filler 

plugs). Apply firm pressure to get the screw started.

2. Loosen the top screws from each hinge on the dryer 

face half way. With one hand holding the top of the door 

and the other hand holding the bottom, remove the door 

from the dryer by lifting it 

UP

 and 

OUT

3. Rotate the door 180º. Insert the door on the opposite 

side of the opening by moving the door 

IN

 and 

DOWN

until the top hinge and the bottom hinge are resting on

the top screws inserted in step 1.

4. Remove the remaining screws from the side of the

opening from which the door was removed. With these

screws secure each hinge at the bottom. Tighten the two

top screws on each hinge. Reinsert the plastic plugs on

the side from which the door was removed.
