REVERSING THE DOOR
THE DRYER DOOR IS VERY LARGE AND HEAVY. Failure to follow the instructions below can result in damage to the
dryer, property damage or personal injury.
WARNING:
Open the door and remove the two plastic hole caps
on the catch side by gently prying up with a flat blade
screwdriver. Save these for step 6.
CAUTION: Be sure to support the weight of the door
before removing the hinge screws.
While supporting the door, remove the 4 screws, two
from each hinge. Set the door aside face down on a
protected surface to prevent damage to the door or
the work surface.
With the door on a protected surface, remove the 16
screws on each side of the door and lift off the inner
door frame using a flat blade screwdriver. Remove the
latch hook and blank and move them to the opposite
side.
Hole cap
Hinge Screw
Remove the 4 screws securing the hinges to the door
frame. Remove the two plastic cover caps on the side
opposite the hinges. Reinstall the hinges and cover
caps on the opposite sides from which they were
removed.
Hinge
assembly
With the hinges and cover caps in the new locations,
remount the inner door frame onto the outer door
frame with the screws removed in step 3 above.
Test the swing of the door to make sure the hinges
and latch are properly aligned and that the door clos-
es and latches.
Reinstall the door with the screws from step 2, and
snap the hole caps into the open hinge mounting holes.
