Reversing the Main Loading Door Hinge Side
The dryer is shipped with the main door hinge on the RH side
as standard. The swing of the door is field reversible. If
required, the front panel can reversed so that the door hinges
on the LH side.
Procedure for reversing the Front Panel:
1. Disconnect the power to the dryer.
2. Remove the main loading door from the front panel by
removing the top hinge block. A 3/16” Allen wrench is
required. Support the door while removing the top hinge
block so that it does not fall. Now lift the door off the
bottom hinge.
3. Remove the bottom hinge block. Remove the plastic
washer from the bottom hinge block and place it in the
same location on the top hinge block.
4. Open the lint door and remove the three screws retaining
the front panel at the bottom. Swing the bottom of the
front panel away from the dryer about three inches. Reach
behind the front panel and disconnect the door switch
plug located in the lower right corner.
5. Open the control door and remove the four screws
retaining the front panel at the top. Be careful that the
front panel does not fall when the last screw is removed.
6. Remove the front panel from the machine and place it
face down on a flat surface.
7. There is a trim piece at the bottom of the front panel.
Remove the four screws retaining the trim piece.
Reposition the trim piece on the top of the panel and install
the retaining screws.
8. Reinstall the front panel on the dryer with the trim piece
at the bottom. Check that the mounts for the door hinges
are on the LH side. Be sure to reconnect the door switch
while installing the front panel. There is a second plug
for the door switch located inside the front left corner of
the top console, refer to figure 3, pass the door switch
connector “A” up through the black plastic bushing show
in figure 3, then connect it to its mating plug. This plug is
similar to the one in the lower right corner that was
disconnected earlier.
9. Reinstall the retaining screws, top and bottom.
10. Reinstall the bottom hinge block. This was the top hinge
block and now has the plastic washer on it.
11. Reinstall the main loading door, and the top hinge block.
The top hinge block was the bottom hinge block, with no
plastic washer.
12. Check that the door swings properly.
13. Close all doors and panels. Then reconnect the power to
the dryer.
14. Check that the dryer starts with no errors.
15. Check that the dryer stops when the door is opened.
NOTE: Some doors have a custom logo bar inside. While
the door is off the dryer, the door pan can be removed (6)
1/4 nuts, to access the logo bar. The bar can then be
removed and flipped. Reinstall the door pan.
