Reinstalling the door

1.Check for fingerprints on the glass. Clean if necessary.

2.Place the inner door assembly into the outer door assembly. Align the hinge in the opening on the side. To fit correctly, the inside door assembly edge is completely inside the outside door assembly edge.

3.Reassemble the inner and outer door assemblies with the 6 screws.

4.Insert the new handle into the side opening of the door. Make sure the handle seats all the way in, and the holes line up with the holes in the door. Reattach with 2 screws.

5.Use a small flat-head screwdriver to remove hole plugs in the door opening. Slide the head of the screwdriver under the cap of each hole plug, being careful not to scratch the dryer surface. Lift up. Remove the hole plugs in the door opening and insert in the opposite side.

6.Insert a screw in the second opening from the top of the hinge opening and partially tighten. Hang the door by placing the top hinge keyhole over the second screwhead and tighten the screw. By putting this screw in first, the door will hang in place while you insert and tighten the remaining 4 screws.

Install new handle filler and hinge cover

1.Using the new handle filler provided in the reversing kit, hook the top of the handle filler onto the loosened upper door trim. Snap the joined pieces into place. You may need to use the heel of your hand to firmly snap the pieces back into place.

2.Hook the bottom of the handle filler onto the lower door trim and snap into place.

3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the hinge cover on the opposite side.

4.Close the door and check that it latches securely.
