"How common, exactly, is this trick? Worth going to your laundry room with a screwdriver, for sure. Jordan Collins, an appliance repair pro at Two Lions 11 in the U.K., says most dryers make it possible to flip dryer doors - you may just not know about it, because the majority of appliances arrive pre-assembled with the door opening to the left or right. The good news is, if you're one of those lucky appliance-owners, it's relatively easy to make the switch."
"Whether your laundry space is small and you can't fully open the dryer door as-is, or you're simply annoyed with the flow of your laundry process like I am, you may benefit from flipping your appliance's door, too! All you should need is a screwdriver and a few minutes of your time. Locate the screws. According to Collins, there should be four screws on the inside of the door opening."
Many front-loading dryers include reversible door hinges that allow the door to open from either side to improve laundry-room ergonomics. Reversing the door generally requires only basic tools, such as a screwdriver, and a few minutes of work. Most machines ship pre-assembled with a default hinge side but provide accessible screws and removable hinge or latch assemblies on the inside of the door opening. Owners can locate and remove the hinge screws, transfer hinge and latch hardware to the opposite side, and reattach fasteners. Consult the appliance manual or a professional if mechanisms differ or warranty concerns exist.
