Yes ,most dryers will allow this. although you will have to remove door to do it. You should see mount holes on the other side of door sometimes have plugs to remove or srews. The hinges on the door will have to be moved to opposite side. Once again should see mount holes. The whole operation takes a matter of minutes once you see how it is done. Hope this helps

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.

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

How do you change the dryer door from a left to right opening to a right to left opening. Thid is a series 90 kenmore

Open the dryer door. There should be approximately three screws that hold the hinges on there on the right side (as you said yours currently is a left to right opening). Remove the screws that hold the door on. As you hold the dryer door removed from the dryer, turn it counter clockwise so that the handle is now on the opposite side. Lay it on the floor. Now, remove the screw hole covers from the opposite side of the dryer opening ( the left side) (these can be removed with a fingernail or a thin flat tipped screw driver to pry them out). This will expose the screw holes on the opposite (left)side of the dryer. Take the removed covers and place them in the original screw holes on the right side. Now simply reinstall the door hinges in the newly exposed screw holes on the left side. This will only work if your dryer is designed to have both types of openings. Good Luck!

Please specify the numbers on to machine data plate (serial, part #, etc.).

Some models do not have that option, but most Maytags do.
