CHANGING DIRECTION OF

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 180°. 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.
