Due to inclement weather on Thursday and Friday, I decided to postpone starting the foundation irrigation system. This gave me time to work on some simpler projects like changing the direction of the dryer door. If you have a front loading dryer, sometimes the direction of the door may not suit your laundry room especially if you moved to a new apartment or house. Luckily, it is very easy to change the direction of the door.
Initially, our dryer door opened to the right, which was inconvenient because our washer was also to the right. It would be ideal to have the door open to the left.
The first step to changing the direction of the door is to remove the jamb, striker plate, and door screws. As depicted, there are four screws. All these screws must be removed. The uppermost and lowermost screws are used to reattach the door.
The second step is to remove the hinge. There are two screws that couple the door to the dryer. Remove these screws to remove the door.
After removing the screws, your dryer should resemble:
The last step is to reattach the door, jamb, and striker plate to the dryer. After replacing the screws and the removed parts on the opposite sides of the dryer, your project is complete.
Very informative. Someday when I have a washer/dryer, I'll try this too!
