How do I reverse the door swing?

Hi Debbie,

I'm sorry, but I don't think so. There is a key that pops out when you lock it so I doubt the door can be reversed.

See page 8 of this manual under Optional Features and reversing the door swing is not listed.

On the positive side, it does have a high consumer satisfaction rate.

Happy 4th! :-)

If its a side by side like the one showing on your post, I doubt you can unless there is a spot showing for under the door, and the water and electrical lines are long enough to switch.

Hello Graham;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

Some freezers have pre-marked holes for reversing the door. Inspect the opposite side of where your door hinges are. Also inspect the opposite side of where your door handle is to see if there are pre-marked holes.
The trick of reversing the door is the door alignment. Have someone hold up one side while you tighten the door hinges. You may have to loosen the hinges and repeat this process to get good alignment.

If there are no pre-existing holes you may try to drill them your self, but you must be exact in the location of the holes. Make sure you can move the door handle.

If your temperature control is on the door do not attempt this, the wiring harness is too short.

Thank you for your inquiry, Sterling Calhoun!

From the information you have provided you would like to reverse the door swing on your Frigidaire washer. I have reviewed the manuals for your washer and I was unable to locate any directions on reversing the door. If you need any further assistance please feel free to reconnect. -Matt

Deb, that reversal is a child safety device - if the bottom edge of the door detects contact with any object, it'll immediately reverse so it doesn't kill a child. Or a cat, dog, whatever.

The opener mechanism should have a stop switch that prevents the door from closing hard against the floor - that stop switch needs to be adjusted so that the door will stop JUST before hard contact. That'll take care of it "bouncing" off the floor & reversing. As to it reversing before it touches the floor... examine both guide rails closely to see if there's any obstruction that the door's bottom edge may be contacting to trigger the child protection reversal switch.

REVERSING DOOR SWING
Your dryer is designed so the door swing may be reversed at any time without additional parts. Conversion is accomplished by transferring hinges to the opposite side of the cabinet.
To change the direction of the door opening:
1. Open the dryer door. Remove the four hinge hole plugs from the left side of the door opening. Place nearby for future installation. NOTE: You may need a plastic knife to help pull out the plugs. Be careful not to scratch the paint.

2. Remove the four screws that secure the door hinges to the dryer front panel (see below). NOTE: Remove one screw from each of the two hinges first. Hold the door firmly before removing the last two screws.

3. Rotate the door 180° and reinstall the door hinges to the dryer front panel with the four screws.

4. Install the four hinge hole plugs in the open screw holes on the right side of the door opening.

Hope this helped Tim

yes any door swing can be reversed.take a good look and you will see the screws covered up with plastic covers .the door has to be removed first but check it out and you will see its not a big job get everything ready and it can be done within 10 minutes.adrian,,,,

Ity is not normlly possible to reverse the door on automatic washers, as they are not configured for this.
Tthankyou.

As far as I know, this door is NOT designed to be reversible. It is designed to open the opposite way of the matching washer to make it easier for you to move clothes from one to the other.
