Phillips screwdriver putty knife
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
untapped holes.
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.
Rotate the door 180°. Insert it on the opposite side of the opening by moving the door
3
IN and DOWN until the top hinge and the bottom hinge are resting on the top screws
inserted in step 1.
Remove the remaining screws from the side of the opening from which the door was
4
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.
