Finally found the video for my dryer door. The delivery guy told me it could be reversed but I'm just getting to it almost a year later. Thanks so much, You're and awesome!! Got a great tutorial along with some eye candy 😉
Glad I could help
All of the hinge screws are stripping on mine. One with an electric screwdriver. The others with a normal larger Philip's Head. I don't even know what to do now.
@@MichaelSmith-yo6ex You needed a bigger Philips or tip of the electric and I did mine without electric, if you do, only use the to unscrew or to screw in most of it then tighten with Philips.
if your screws are stripped then unless you find replacements you may be in trouble
Thank you so so 💓 much for the easy straight to the point video. I'm single and couldn't get anyone to help me with this small project. I DID IT MYSELF because of you...
So glad to help and happy to here you got it done! 👏
Was on hold for 35 minutes with Best Buy trying to schedule to have this done. Transferred 3 different times. Watched the video while on hold and hung up. Had this done in less than 20 minutes because of this video!! Thank you for saving me the headache and frustration!!
Thanks for sharing! Glad my video helped!
I call myself a little MacGyver. I was about to pay $70 (The rip off price) to Best Buy to remove some screws and flip it around. Mind you, I paid $30 for an install. I watched this easy video, cancelled my appointment, installed it myself, and saved my cash for something more enjoyable. Thank you for the assistance of continuing to trust myself, save some money and not getting ripped off.
No problem! Glad I was able to help you save money by coming on UA-cam University! Thanks for the support!
Just a tip for anyone doing this. Be really careful when separating the door pieces, the inner edges are quite sharp and I cut my finger pretty badly when trying to separate.
I read this after I cut myself lol. Pro tip, Super glue is great for cuts from sheet metal.
Also read and proceeded to slice finger. lol. That being said - there are clips on the doors. two on each side. so just ramming it could snap those - a flat head with slight inward pressure will release them and door comes off easy. Figured this out after 15 minutes off scratching my head and cutting myself. 😎
Yep, same here. His came apart much easier than mine.
Same here
Same
I just love UA-cam.. I followed along, practically in real time and got the job done. Bing, bang, boom. Thank you!
You are the man Sean! Thanks for the support and glad I was able to help you out!
The perfect video. Love that you show when it may take a bit of force or wiggling to get the job done. Feels better to see someone do it first. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much! Glad I could help you out and give you some confidence so you can do it as well!
Nice walk through. Quick note, there are 4 pry points to make it easier to separate after screw removal. They're faintly marked, (2 on top, 2 on the bottom) It only takes a slight pry with a flathead.
You will need to apply some pressure to snap back together. Happy reversal!
Awesome advice! Thanks for tuning into my channel as well!
Thank you, makes life alot easier when you are not having to squeeze between a wall and a door 🙂
Sure does. Thank you!
Yup
Very straight forward...I was able to reverse my dryer door in 5min. Thanks for clear step by step instruction.
Awesome! 5 mins is great! Glad I could help you out!
THANK YOU! I just got new dryer delivered today and I needed this video. I would have been lost without it.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Your Welcome!
Thank you for this video. You made this a 15 min task instead of an hour or 2 trying to figure it out on my own without a manual. Keep up the great work :)
That is awesome John!
I need to do this for my dryer. I thought "I'll go on UA-cam and see if there is one". This video was first suggestion, and it will be the LAST suggestion because it perfectly details how to do the swap. Easy Peasy! Thank you very much for this video!
No problem there! Thanks for tuning into my channel! Hope everything goes smoothly with reversing your door!
Thank you for sharing your information
After 4 years of having my dryer, I finally decided to reverse the door. Thank you! This was so easy to do.
No worries! Glad I can help!
Thank you for making this video! Straight forward and to the point! Saved not just me but a lot of people from a headache and a whole lot of time! 👍👍👍
No problem Carrie! Thank you for tuning and supporting me here on UA-cam!
The door latch at 3:43 helped me. I didn't realize it fit in between the parts. I had it on top and was struggling to button things up that way. Thanks a lot.
Glad it helped!
I did the same thing. It didn't result in trouble "buttoning things up" for me though. The result is that the door doesn't stay tight against the seals when shut and the closed door switch would shut off the dryer a few seconds into the cycle.
Thanks so much for this. I used another video at first. It did not have instructions like this. I thought the door was a waste and called Samsung and looked on the internet to try to find a replacement door. By chance I came across this video. You saved time and money!!
Glad to help. Thanks for sharing your experience! I appreciate your feedback.
I just did this all by myself and was able to get it done with no issues!!! Very easy and helpful video!!!!
Awesome! Glad I was able to help you along the way! Let me know if you need anything else!
Many thanks my man! Sort of thought I needed to take the door apart but feel much more confident after watching this! Great info and to the point. 👍🏼👍🏼
You got this! Thanks for sharing.
Our dryer was on the wrong. side of the washer as far as being able to open the door properly, but washer connections prevented us from swapping them around. It was always a pain to squeeze in the side and put in clothes to dry. Then we discovered this video!! Thank you so much and such an easy swap. Life is easier now on the correct side of the dryer door!! Thanks again:)
Thanks so much for this my bro. Taking stuff apart is easy but putting it back together is where I am always shakey lol. The part where you showed how the inside clips back in was especially useful to me because I would've probably broken it trying to put it back together without it. Got the job done without issues, thanks!
Glad to hear! I appreciate you.. let me know if you have any appliance projects you need any clarification on or questions regarding best options to purchase. Always glad to help!
Took me about 25 minutes after watching your video! Thank you!!!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the straight instructions, I wish every video was done like this!
No problem and thank you for the kind words and supporting my channel!
Thanks, it was so helpful for this handy-gal. Good to know that there are two slots at the top and two slots on the bottom to release the inside piece and the outside piece of the door. ❤️
No problem Meadow! Glad you were able to find this video useful! Were you able to successfully reverse your door?
Very helpful! Thank you! It’s only been 4 years that we’ve been needing to do this. Better late than never 😂
This video just made my life 1,000 times easier 😮💨 we just got our new dryer delivered and only noticed after they left that the door opened on the wrong side. Found this video on a Google search and had this done in no time. Thank you SO MUCH!!!
Awesome! I am glad I can make your life easier there!
Another good tip, I learned the hard way- lay a blanket or something soft down if your dryer doesnt have the window, otherwise you’ll scratch the crap out of your paint on the door.
Even one with the window, might get some scratches on the edges. If that’s something that’d bother you, then take my advice.
Great video! Felt better about doing it in my own after watching! Now no more reaching around the door to throw stuff in the dryer! Yay!
Awesome advice Johna! Thanks for tuning in! That is a really good tip. I'm always looking for fresh ideas. Do you have any specific video requests or topics you'd like me to dive into next?"
Great video. I watched it first so I can understand the entire process. Will get to this in the next couple of days. The video will be my guide. Very helpful and straightforward.
Awesome Kevin! Let me know how it goes! If you have any questions just let me know.
Thanks! Wife has asked me to reverse the door but I couldn't locate the instructions. 30 min job thanks to you. 😉
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this! The men who came to install my new washer and dryer were basically looking to get in and out as gay as they could. While they did hook up my machines properly, when I asked them about switching the door orientation, they claimed it wasn't just of their job (even though I know most installers will do this). We've just lived with the door opening on the wrong side for us for months now. Today, though, I watched your video and had it switched within 20 minutes. Yay!
I am glad you now have a door that opens up on the right side!
Thanks! Done in 10 minutes, you covered all the stuff I needed!!
Awesome Glad to hear! Doing it in 10 minutes is pretty fast especially for it probably being your first time.
Your video was very helpful in changing my daughter's dryer door. I was worried when I removed the screws but the glass door did not come off because of the two clips at the top and bottom. The user manual didn't mention the clips and I was worried if I forced it off I would be breaking something. Your video explained the clips and reduced my concerns. Success! Thank you.
Thank you for the tutorial! I had no idea how to do this, and where I'm putting it, I needed to reverse the door. This video helped me so much! Thank you!!!
Best, instructional video I've come across on UA-cam
Wow! Thank you so much for that! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Was very helpful especially when understanding the force needed to separate the door.
Thanks for sharing!
This was my problem too... I was afraid I was gonna bust the door!
Exactly the video I needed. I of course like most men, had my door half torn apart before I thought I should maybe look up some videos. Lol.
Simple and concise explanation.
Thanks so much.
Glad to help! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this! I thought it looked easy, but I'm glad to know that I don't have to call geek squad out here to fix their mistake. 😂
No problem! Glad I can help you from the comfort of your home!
Thank you !! Got it done in 30 minutes. On the road to being handy 😂
Awesome! That is really good that you got you done! You aren't on the road to being handy anymore, you are handy!!! Thanks for tuning in!
Good video, straight to the point. I reversed my Samsung dryer door in about 15 minutes.
Awesome!
Thanks so much for the detailed walkthrough, I was able to change my door pretty quickly.
No problem, glad I can help you!
Did it myself this morning before watching this video lol! I used a screwdriver rather than a drill though. Easy peasy! But is SO much more convenient since my dryer is to the left of my washer, so the dryer door opening to the right was OBNOXIOUS!
Glad to here. I agree, it’s much more convenient to flip the swing so it opens away from your washer. Thanks for watching!
Video helped me out
Thanks !!
SUPER helpful video! Thanks for posting!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! Was a big help. Careful with those clips when taking this apart everyone. Make sure and watch the whole video. And watch the sharp edges 😮
No problem Michael and yes that is a great tip as well!
Thank you so much for this video. Our dryer just broke and the door opened top to bottom. Just purchases a new samsung w/d set and I didn't realize the door opened left to right. Now I can easily (hopefuly LOL) change it to fit my needs to open right to left! Thank you!!
Hope your process goes smoothly!
Amazing video, thank you! I have the user manual to my appliances (just got them about two weeks ago), but the latter stages of what to do with the door weren't very clear. I had hoped the QR code on the back of the manual would take me specifically to their video on how to do this, but that just took me to their UA-cam channel's homepage and it was up to ke to sort through and find the video, lol. A search on "How to switch Samsung dryer door" brought up your video first. Your steps were very clear and helped me understand the portion where you take the glass covering off. Thank you!
Great Video Thx! I'm going to do this work tomorrow after fumbling with the door for 5 years. 😎
No problem Matthew! Were you able to successfully reverse your door?
Thanks for sharing this video. It was so helpful to me. My wife has been wanting me to reverse the door for months. I finally did it today. So easy. And now I'm not in the dog house anymore. Thanks again.
Glad to help! Never fun being in the dog house. Thanks for sharing.
This is an excellent video. It is very simple and straight forward. Thank you for the help and for helping people save a lot of money.
Beautiful! Exactly what is expected and shown. Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this man, much appreciated!
No problem Nicholas! Thanks for tuning in!
Thank you! Great video.
Glad you think so! Thank you!
I asked my husband to do this a year ago. My daughter and I got it done in 10 minutes. Thank you!
Nice job Naomi! Sometimes if you want it done right you must do it yourself! You go!
Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank u. Got it done
Glad to hear!
I’m a plumber so I’m pretty good with figuring things out , I got the door off but then was a little hesitant about taking a bunch of screws out that I didn’t know what they did after about 3/4 of this video in 15 minutes. I accomplished a task. Thank you very much for this video.
No problem! Glad I was able to help you out there. These kind of things can be a little daunting because you don't want your dryer to be not assembled properly.
This video was amazing! Such a great help! Thank you showing us!
Glad it was helpful!
great video. I really appreciated that you sped up and silenced when you were drilling.
We got our dryer secondhand almost a year ago. My better half has been so busy working so hard and couldn't get to it yet. I kept looking at it and thinking, I bet I could do it! So I looked for a video and finally found this one 😁 thank you so much - it was super easy changing it over!!!
Awesome! So glad to hear that you were able to reverse your door. Also, thanks for the sub!
Extremely helpful. It took me 20 minutes to reverse the hinge myself. I probably would have been on hold longer than that trying to get Lowes back out to do it. (The delivery person did not know how or pretended he didn't know how to reverse the hinges.)
Glad to help! It feels good knowing you got it done! 👏
Excellent video, thank you for uploading it !
No problem! Thank you for tuning and supporting!
Thank you for help and very well done.
You are welcome!
Thank you!! Not only did you make this project so much easier, but you’re not too bad to look at yourself! 😉😂
No problem! Thank you as well! Glad I could help you out!
Thanks man! Just did it in about 10 mins. Super easy
Awesome!
Got the job done! Great video!
Glad I could help!
Couldn’t have done without this. Thank you!
Awesome! Love hearing comments like this. Hope your dryer is now optimized for you!
Thank you so much !👍👍👍
Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this. Helped so much, I didn’t realize how easy it was

No problem! Glad you found my content so useful. Thanks for tuning in!
Thanks for this video. Worked like a charm and took me 10 minutes
Very nice! Doing it in 10 minutes is very good! Glad I was able to help guide you!
Just got the barebones trim of this dryer last week and noticed tonight while I was doing laundry that the door looked like it could be reversed - thank you for confirming my suspicions and providing a handy visual guide of the process!
That is awesome! The power of the internet; well, thank you for tuning into my content!
Very well explained, thenks!
No problem! Hope you were able to successfully get it done!
Killer video man, I and all humanity thank you. Thanks friend. Internet Blessings to you forever.

Glad to help!
Best tutorial video I've seen in a while,thank you from Gainesville, Florida! Take care
Glad to here! Thank you for sharing from Gainesville!
Thanks for the video! Just a tip for everyone doing this I had the most trouble with the screws for the hinges. They were extra stubborn and did not go back in on the other side easily. I would recommend screwing them in slowly for an easier fit on the other side before doing it with the door Bec I rounded one of them. It’s on snug and tight now though
Same here. Super frustrating. Fortunately, I had a matching socket wrench head for my screwdriver and it made the process a little easier.
Thank you very much .
No problem!
Awesome video and well illustrated One of the best tutorials I have ever viewed Thank you
