Reverse Door Position - Electrolux EI15TC65HS Technical & Service Manual

REVERSE DOOR POSITION

The compactor comes from the factory with the door
in the right-hand opening position. To reverse the door
position requires exchanging the hinges. This means
that the lower right hinge becomes the upper left hinge,
and the upper right hinge becomes the lower left hinge.
It is also necessary to remove the plastic door-assist
mechanism from its original location and place it in the
new location. In order to reverse the door position:
1. Remove the door. (Follow the steps in Door Assembly,
Remove and Re-install.)
2. Using a small fl at screwdriver, gently pry the decorative
cap and door bushing from the top of the door and
reverse positions by pushing into the top of door.

3. Remove the hex socket head screws that secure
the lower hinge to the cabinet. Remove the door-
assist mechanism from the hinge, noting how
the mechanism is put together (two components
comprise the door-assist mechanism: an upper and
a lower half).
4. After correctly re-assembling the door-assist to what
will become the lower hinge, use the small Phillips
head screw to attach it to the hinge.

the compactor cabinet, mount the door on the lower
left hinge/door-assist assembly.
7. Install the upper hinge using the two hex socket head
