Mine is just like yours. After watching your video I found my owners manual and found out that , after removing the door, you can “carefully turn the door upside down and reinstall it on the opposite side”! Wow and phew! So easy!
Thanks a ton for the video! Just switching the door swing is way more complicated with the skinny/fat side that it should be. I also thought I could just flip the door but quickly saw it wouldn't close. I followed the manual but got so lost I searched for your video to just get it put back together LOL. But once I watched your video I was finally able to get it switched successfully!
Glad I seen this video, I bet I messed with that door for well over 2 hours trying to figure it out. After I watched the video I was done in 5 minutes!!! Thanks
Thank you very much! Extremely helpful and made it super easy for me to switch my door - Great video and great walk through sequence - Thank you again!
This was so helpful!! Thank you! Just fixed mine for the new house since the draw was facing the wrong way! Thank you! I at least didn’t have the glass issue (mine is flat) you had but the rest was on point.
Thanks for the video. I just got the wfw8620hc1 and even if I went through all of this (which this was an excellent walkthrough), the main unit doesn't have holes physically drilled into it with the embedded nuts. So I would likely have get inside the washer itself and make modifications. Ugh...
Thanks much for an easy step by step tutorial. My head scratcher, in Whirlpool’s infinite wisdom, why in the heck didn’t they match up the doors when shipped?
Fortunately, you did this first and recorded your oops moment that might cause some of us to cuss. Iol Hoping I can just put my washer door on my dryer and dryer door on my washer after reversing the hinge of course on each as they are the same basically, and it seems like the guys at the store reversed them. Mine sadly sit side by side :(
In the beginning of the vid I talk about how I swapped the hinges first and realized that the door would not close now and realized that there was more to do so I decided to make a video
It was on the right-side hinge BEFORE he started the video, his video started by him showing how it did not work by just removing the assembled door from the right side to the left, it does not work because the top and bottom are not symmetrical, he says, "fat side, skinny side."

The part where you said you can put the two pieces together was what kept my sanity. Without that, I may have never got it.
Brah, you saved me a ton of guess work. Your video was the best one on UA-cam. Thank you so much!
I appreciate you, man. lol i spent an hour getting the hardwear switched only to realize the handle was fixed in place too haha
Thank you so much! Not intuitive without your video

Thanks for posting this because i was perplexed!
Invaluable! It worked perfectly. Thank you so much!
Same thing happened to me and this video was a big help for me to decide to not change it.

Mine is flat too so is it as simple as he originally thought it would be??
Thank you very much. Exactly what I needed.

Thank you for doing that video. If not I would be divorced now!!!!!!
Thanks for the video, getting ready to do the same thing to our Whirlpool dryer!! Always nice to research videos before getting started!! :)

Thanks for this video,help me very much,done the same thing you did glass was an issue
just curious, what's the shoestring on the drill for? Just to hang it up somewhere?
I climb cell phone towers. I clip it to myself.
At about 2:40 into video, you picked up some piece of metal that came loose, but you cut away and did not show where it goes. Where does it go?
Those metal brackets that’s just disregarded r needed to hold the glass in place Other than that very helpful. Thank you
Haha same thing happened to me... Glad I'm not alone
It’s ridiculous that it is that difficult thank for the video
Thank you. This video helped me do the same
Thanks!

I think I knocked some plaque off my arteries @1:43 when the door moved.
I’m totally confused. Cant see what you are doing.
so your vid show the same side hinge in the start and the ending. odd
In the beginning of the vid I talk about how I swapped the hinges first and realized that the door would not close now and realized that there was more to do so I decided to make a video

Thanks so much.
My wife can learn to live with factory placement. I need a nap.
Your wife can learn how to switch the door direction around for herself.
