Are the doors on my dryer reversible?

Samsung dryers allow you to reverse the door. This feature can be useful if your dryer is fitted in a position where a left swinging or a right swinging door is not easily accessed. 

This feature is offered for select dryers only and not for washing machines or washer dryers. Some dryer models do not offer this feature. Check your user manual for details.

The steps used to reverse your dryer's doors vary slightly depending on the model. Some of the methods are covered below. Check your user manual for model-specific steps.

To reverse the dryer doors:

For model: DV**K6***E*  may cover other models.

1 Unplug the dryer.
2 Remove the two door hinge screws.

Please note: There is a screw on the back side of the hinge that will support the door as you unscrew the hinge.

3 Lift the door and remove it from the dryer.
4 Remove the two screws that are above and below the cut-out in the frame front. Save these for later.
5 Remove the two screws above and below the lever holder on the opposite side of the door opening.
6 Remove the two screws that hold the lever holder in place.
7 Remove the lever holder.
8 Re-insert the two screws that held the lever holder into the same screw holes and tighten.
9 Remove the single screw from the back of the door hinge.

This is the screw that supports the door against the frame so you can unscrew or screw in the hinge without needing to support the door yourself.

10 Insert the screw you just removed into the other screw hole on the back of the door hinge, and then tighten.
11 Place the door on the other side, and then reattach it to the dryer.

Using the support screw you have just reinserted, manoeuvre the hole above the cut out in the frame, onto the support screw. Slide the door hinge down until it stops. The support screw is now bearing the weight of the door.  Make sure the screw on the back of the hinge is pressed into the cut out before you tighten the hinge screws. 

12 Push the lever holder into the cut out on the other side of the door opening.
13 Insert screws, and then tighten.
14 Re-attach the remaining screws to the remaining holes above and below the lever holder, and tighten.
