Hello;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

Oscar is correct. However, if you have a double door this is not possible.

If you have a single door, you most hold the door in position when you tighten the top flange.

You may want to leave the top flange loose and adjust the bottom front leveling screws until the door moves into a good seal position.

    Hello Oscar; I have been on service calls where the customer had purchased a unit slightly larger than the original unit. Here, the unit was press fit into the existing space. Opening the door, the thickness of the door had interference with the kitchen wall and would not open all of the way.

Most refrigerators and freezers have the option of door reversal......look on the opposite side of the door and there should be screw holes under plastic plugs....which will enable you to swap the hinge to the other side.Here are a few pics for reference.

Can you reverse the door swing on a upright freezer. Frididaire model fffh17f1rwo

Hi Debbie,

I'm sorry, but I don't think so. There is a key that pops out when you lock it so I doubt the door can be reversed.

See page 8 of this manual under Optional Features and reversing the door swing is not listed.

On the positive side, it does have a high consumer satisfaction rate.

Happy 4th! :-)

Reversing door

Hello Graham;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

Some freezers have pre-marked holes for reversing the door. Inspect the opposite side of where your door hinges are. Also inspect the opposite side of where your door handle is to see if there are pre-marked holes.
The trick of reversing the door is the door alignment. Have someone hold up one side while you tighten the door hinges. You may have to loosen the hinges and repeat this process to get good alignment.

If there are no pre-existing holes you may try to drill them your self, but you must be exact in the location of the holes. Make sure you can move the door handle.

If your temperature control is on the door do not attempt this, the wiring harness is too short.

Refrigerator problems 2-door freezer door stuck will not open

Good Afternoon friend, I appreciate your post!

Based off what you have described the door on your Frigidaire refrigerator is stuck and will not open. It sounds like you may have condensation on your gasket and it has frozen the door shut. The best thing to do is disconnect power from the refrigerator for four to six hours and that should break up any ice holding the door closed. I hope this is helpful information. -Matt

I have a kenmore upright freezer model 970-254326 bought in 2011 from sears. The door opens left to right but in my tiny apartment I NEED it to open from right to left just to put things in and get th

You should see some plastic plugs or holes for mounting bolts on the opposite side of the freezer case. The latch mechanism should adapt from one side to another.
You would remove the top hinge and then lift the door off of the bottom hinge. Then you would remove the bottom hinge and switch it to the other side. Place the door onto the bottom hinge and then install the top hinge on the other corner of the case to match.
You should be able to move the handle from one side to the other. The magnets in the doorseal should work as before to keep the door closed. The interior light is usually centered on the bottom to aid in reversing the door opening.

Cannot reverse door on Electrolux fridge freezer

Basically they needed to supply an additional door mount for the left hand side of the door as well as the right hand side. Problem now sorted. Poor instructions in the manual didn't help here!
