    Is this straighforward, could a delivery driver reverse the doors on the new Hotpoint T Dryer CTD00? Or is there wiring for door interlock to be changed also? Have to do a job in New Year & don’t want to send Engineer if its quite an easy job!

    The door switch appears to be centrally located so it should be straightforward enough by the looks of it.

    Is it not described in the user manual ?

    It is just a matter of swapping the hinges to the other side, the holes are pre drilled and just need the blanking plugs removed, the door switch is central so no need to to touch this.

    Actually had to go out to this machine myself, holes on machine are pre-drilled but how in the name of God do you get the hinges in to the door, there are no holes pre-drilled on other side of door! Rang Hotpoint & got (eventually) to speak to someone & he says they (Hotpoint) never had a door reversal to do so he has no technical knowledge of this! I’ve 2 to do & we’re just a small retailer! Do you have to order a new door that is hinged on R.H.S? I await his reply patiently!

    I’ve not seen one of these so forgive me if this reply is stupid but can you not just turn the door plus hinge the other way up so that you don’t have to take the hinge off the door? presumably you’d have to swap the door switch pecker over to the other side though.

    Ta Geoff, no this is the big Square door , full width of machine, , doesn’t work like that as door switch is at top & anyhow door doesn’t fit in that way!

    I have only just replaced a damaged door and hung it the same way, but according to the techinical manual its just a matter of swapping the hinges. The only other possibilty is the door is made up of an inner and outer panel that are clipped together(quoting the manual). the only other suggestion i have is that you have to seperate the two halves , and spin the outer panel 180 degrees so the holes are on the other side. Only one part number listed for the door.

    OK; just thought I’d suggest it as sometimes it’s easy to miss the obvious solution that’s staring you in the face. Hope you get it sorted. Geoff

    due to the high quality bulid of merloni products 😉 i’ve seen a few of these now, it would appear that some have the hole pre-drilled on both sides, and some only have them on 1 side
