Two-Way Door (on some models)
Before You Begin
NOTE:
The door reversal procedure for the two-way door is far
more complex than for a conventional dryer door. It is
recommended that you read through these instructions
in their entirety before beginning the process, in order to
gauge whether you prefer to have the procedure done by
a professional installer or service person.
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.
Tools Required
Phillips or large flat-blade screwdriver (for hinge
screws)
Small flat blade screwdriver
(for lifting out parts)
WARNING:
THE DRYER DOOR IS VERY LARGE AND HEAVY.
Failure to follow the instructions below can 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.
