Whirlpool 38008 Dryer Door Reversing Kit

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 38008 is a dryer door reversing kit designed to change the swing direction of a residential clothes dryer door. This kit provides the hardware needed to relocate the door hinge and latch assembly from one side of the door opening to the other, allowing the dryer to better suit the layout of a laundry space. It is typically installed by appliance service technicians or experienced DIYers performing a straightforward mechanical modification. Pewter finish components are included to match the dryer's existing trim and hardware.
