Indesit BAAN12 Door Reversal

[2ciz]

Hi there,
I am attempting to reverse the door opening on an Indesit BAAN12 fridge freezer as descibed in it’s manual.However ,the top right hinge does not seem to fit to the top left position.
Does anyone have any experience of this, or can anyone offer any advice??
Many Thanks..

Hi

Turn it upside down and remove the pin and refit the pin on the opposite side.

Hi Bryan Thanks for your reply.
My top right hinge is a solid steel (?) bracket and so does not have a pin that can be refitted.I have spoken to Indesit who insist that it will fit if I ‘force it a bit’.
So I took both doors off and tried it.
However after drilling the new holes for the cenre bracket and trying to refit the freezer door,I found that the door won’t close properly!
It looks like the new holes are in the wrong position.
So after two hours of wasted time,decided to put the doors back as they were (hopefully).
This is definitly not as easy as Indesit thinks.
Has anyone actually done this??
