You can call Whirlpool and order a door reversing kit. It costs under $30 with shipping and handling.

As far as I know, this door is NOT designed to be reversible. It is designed to open the opposite way of the matching washer to make it easier for you to move clothes from one to the other.

How do I switch the door opening to the other side? I would like to change the dryer door opening from the left side to the right side. By looking at the dryer it appears this is possible.

Hello, Frazer -

Without knowing the make and model of you clothes dryer, it is a challenge to provide you with the precise directions for changing the swing of your dryer door. With that being said, this YouTube video may prove helpful to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW9183PsCLc .

How did I find the YouTube video? Using Google I entered the following search statement, with quotation marks, as indicated: "clothes dryer door swing" .

This web page with written directions may also prove helpful:

Best wishes.

Can i change the swing on my whirlpool front loading washer Model#wfw9640xwoo

No, the door only swings open from right to left. They made no provision for swapping hinge location on that model, which has recently been discontinued. Sorry.

How to change doors from right to left on Whirlpool Duet

Duet dryer doors cannot be reversed for the swing. They wil only open one way. Depending on your model of washer the newers ones will allow you to reverse the door swing without a kit. The older units require a kit to reverse the washer door.

Is it possible to reverse door swing on dryer? My daughter has a new Elite front load dryer that swings from left.

REVERSING DOOR SWING
Your dryer is designed so the door swing may be reversed at any time without additional parts. Conversion is accomplished by transferring hinges to the opposite side of the cabinet.
To change the direction of the door opening:
1. Open the dryer door. Remove the four hinge hole plugs from the left side of the door opening. Place nearby for future installation. NOTE: You may need a plastic knife to help pull out the plugs. Be careful not to scratch the paint.

2. Remove the four screws that secure the door hinges to the dryer front panel (see below). NOTE: Remove one screw from each of the two hinges first. Hold the door firmly before removing the last two screws.

3. Rotate the door 180° and reinstall the door hinges to the dryer front panel with the four screws.

4. Install the four hinge hole plugs in the open screw holes on the right side of the door opening.

Hope this helped Tim

Washer door opens with hinges on the left

nope sorry but all front load washers are built with a locking system on the door and that makes them impossible to change the door swing.
the only thing you can do is move the washer and dryer position by getting longer hoses and venting so you can have the washer on the left and the dryer on the right.
