There may be a time you want to reverse the direction of your dryer door. It may open an inconvenient way that doesn’t align with your laundry layout, or you may find it more convenient to open the door from the opposite side.

Please note that door reversal should always be done by a qualified technician, to prevent damage or injury. Not all dryers will have the option to reverse the door.

This guide will provide the steps to reverse the direction of your dryer door.

Reversing the Dryer Door

1 Open the door, and remove the door packing.
2 Remove the screws on the inner glass holder of the door.

First, loosen and remove the 3 screws on the bottom.
Then, loosen and remove the 3 screws on the top of the holder.
3 Detach the glass holder.

!CAUTION!

Use caution not to drop any part of the holder when detaching it. Property damage (cracks or breaks) or physical injury may occur.

4 Remove the hinge screws, then detach the door.

Loosen and remove the 2 bolts on the doorframe.
To prevent abrasion on the bolts, use a hex screwdriver.

Do not remove the lower bracket screws.
6 Remove the 2 bracket screws on the right frame, and then remove the 2 holder screws on the left frame.

12 Tighten the 3 holder screws on the top.

Then, tighten the 3 holder screws on the bottom.
