Most fridges are designed so that the door can be flipped to reverse the opening direction. Look where the hinges are now. Look on the other side of the opening. Are there mounting holes to accept the hinge bolts? If so, unbolt the door, flip it so the bottom is now the top, and re-attach the hinges and bolts.
If you lack mounting holes, the door likely cannot be flipped.
You just swop the bottom and top hinges,remove the top hinge and install on other side on bottom, do reverse with bottom hinge ,if there is provision for the hinges to be swoped by means of threaded holes on the refrigerator and holes on the otherside of the door (left or right). Before you start see if its possible. Good luck, Peter (S.A)
on the top right hand side of the refrigerator you should see little screw cover caps,, also on the door and on the bottom of the door. remove these caps -- now remove the screws that hold the hinges for the door and just switch everything over to the other side. everything is a mirror image of the other side --- where there is a screw that holds the hinge on one side -- there will be a screw hole on the other side that is covered by a finish cap,,, same thing with the hinge pin hole. tighten everything up and use the finish caps to plug up the now exposed holes and there you go -- right hand opening door.
if you have any troubles -- just write me back here and I will do my best to walk you through it.
first remove the door from the fridge, remove the hardware connected to the fridge, on the opposite side should be rubber or plastic caps covering some bolt holes. remove caps and install top of hinge transfer everything you see on the left to the right
This is a simple job remove both doors and switch them from left to right.You will have to remove the plugs from the holes where the hinge go be sure to adjust the gap between the doors and put the plugs back in the place where the old hinge screws were.
Hope this was helpful.

Im unable to look up htat particular model number for you, looks like my FRT18, which is made by the electrolux company, in which case, YES you can easily switch the door swing form one side to the ohter, whats on the left goes to teh righ and right to the left, not a problem
In my experince all refrigerator doors can be converted from right to left opening. Look carefully how the doors are hinged and look for the same arrangements on the other side of the refrigerator. They may have plastic blanks which can be removed with a screwdiver, but they will be there. Turn off the fridge while working on it. And make arrangements for your frozen food if necessary.
Not sure with this model but most time you can and I'm sure this is no different, look at the screws holding the hinge bracket, there should be identical screw holes to match on the opposite side.
