How to Reverse the Door on a Front Loading Washer

Reversing a front loading door is not possible on all models of dishwashers. When reversal is an option, installation might simply require rotating and switching the door. Always check with the manufacturer to ensure whether installation requires an additional kit. In some cases, reversal could require disassembling the window.
