How to change the opening direction of the DANBY DAR125SLDD refrigerator door?

Question

Accepted Answer

Your DANBY DAR125SLDD refrigerator has a reversible door. Thanks to the design of this compact appliance, the mounting holes for both opening directions are already drilled at the factory. This operation is simple and does not require specialized tools.

Before you begin: Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet for your safety. Wait a few minutes for the internal pressure to equalize, then completely empty the inside of the door (condiments, bottles, etc.). Also, leave the refrigerator slightly open for a few minutes to relieve the vacuum.

Steps to reverse the door: Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws of the upper hinge (there are usually 2 to 3). Then unscrew the screws of the lower hinge. Once both hinges are removed, gently lift the door to completely detach it. You can place the door on a protected surface (blanket, cardboard) for handling.

Reinstallation on the opposite side: Locate the pre-drilled holes on the opposite side of the refrigerator (left side if the door was on the right, or right side if it was on the left). First align the lower hinge with these holes and secure it with the same screws. Then attach the upper hinge, making sure to align it correctly. Check that the door opens and closes without forcing, and that the seal adheres well all around.

After the operation: Plug the refrigerator back in and let it rest for about 2 hours before loading it with food. This allows the cooling system to stabilize after moving. Check the proper alignment of the door and that the interior light activates properly upon opening.
