Tools needed:

Open the door and remove the filler plugs opposite the
hinges. With the door completely open, remove the bottom
screw 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 in new holes.
2
Loosen top screw 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
Remove the blind plate from the hinge side of the dryer by
removing its two screws. Remove the strike plate from the
opposite side of the dryer by removing its two screws.
Reinstall the plates, on the opposite sides, using two screws
in each plate.

Rotate the door 180°. Insert it 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.
5
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
of each hinge. Reinsert the plastic plugs on the side from
which the door was removed.
