THE DRYER DOOR IS VERY LARGE AND HEAVY. Failure to
follow the instructions below may result in damage to
the dryer, property damage or personal injury.
• To avoid damage to the dryer or the door, support the
door with a stool or box that fits under the door, or
have an assistant support the weight of the door.
• Avoid dropping the door to avoid damage to the door
or the floor.
• Unplug the dryer or turn off power at the main circuit
breaker before beginning door reversal.
Door Reversal Instructions
NOTE
The instructions here are for changing the door swing
from a right to a left side hinge. If the door has been
reversed, and it is necessary to change it back, use
care when following these instructions. Some of
the illustrations and the left/ right references will be
reversed, and you will need to read the instructions
carefully.
