How to reverse Amana lea60aw dryer door swing?

Question

I want to make the door open the other way, and don't have the user manual. 

I thought I could just move the hinges to the other side of the door, but although the frame has the right holes covered with a plastic cap, the door doesn't have any place to move the hinges to. There aren't enough holes for the hinge screws.

Now what? Do I have to take the door apart?

I looked at a picture of the dryer and I don't see any problem with you changing the door around if you are handy with tools as you say you are.Check the owners manual to see if this is doable as some appliances have wires in the hinges that would not allow you to change the door swing on the item in that you would have to order the unit in a left/right door swing configuration.Good luck.

are you sure you can't just flip the door?  in other words, turn it upside down so the hinge holes on the door are on the side you want the hinge to attach to the frame? 


there's a catch on each side of the cabinet, so the door is definitely reversible.
