and latches properly.

NOTE
The door reversal procedure for the Easy Load
door is far more complex than for a conventional
swing door. Read through these instructions in
their entirety before beginning the process, to
judge whether you prefer to have the procedure
done by a professional installer or service person.
The instructions here are for changing the door
swing from a right to a left side hinge. If the door
has been reversed, and it is necessary to change
it back, use care when following these instructions.
Some of the illustrations and the left/right
references will be reversed, and you will need to
read the instructions carefully.
Tools Required
Phillips or large flat-blade screwdriver (for hinge screws)
Small flat-blade screwdriver (for lifting out parts)
WARNING
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.
To avoid damage to the dryer or the door,
support the door with a stool or box that fits
under the door, or have an assistant support
the weight of the door.
Avoid dropping the door to prevent damage to
the door or the floor.
Unplug the dryer or turn off power at the main
circuit breaker before beginning door reversal.
