To reverse the door swing:
1. Unplug the dryer from its electrical outlet.
2. Open the door to approximately 90 degrees.
Starting from the bottom to the top, remove the
bottom 4 Phillips-head screws from the hinge.
Note: Make sure the door is supported while
removing the screws.
Note: To ease removal of the door, the hinge has a
keyhole that allows a partially loosened screw to be
used as a hook.
3. Loosen the top Phillips-head screw, then lift and
unhook the door from the front panel. Remove
the top screw.
4. Lay the door on a soft protected fl at surface so
that the inside faces upward (door resting on the

four screws.
