Introduction
[youtubevideo|7LACRl6CuyY]Reversing the door swing lets you position the refrigerator in a tight kitchen without bumping adjacent cabinets.

Conclusion
Reconnect the refrigerator to power and monitor that it cools normally. If you do not hear the gasket gripping sound or notice uneven gaps, loosen the hinge screws slightly, realign the door, and retighten until the seal is uniform. Always consult the manufacturer’s manual and warranty terms before altering hinge positions, as some brands restrict user modifications. If hinges differ from those shown, contain wiring, or feel unsafe to remove, stop and contact a qualified service technician. FAQ / Troubleshooting: • Door does not seal: Realign by loosening hinges and shifting the door until the gasket grips uniformly. • Door rubs cabinet: Check that the former top and bottom hinges were swapped correctly and that plugs are not preventing full closure. • Unused holes visible: Re‑insert all decorative plugs to keep the cabinet insulated and neat.
