Is it possible to hang the door of a washing machine?

Is it possible to hang the door of a washing machine? It is quite difficult to place a front-facing washing machine in small bathrooms. The most annoying thing is when a couple of centimeters are missing for the normal installation of the “home assistant”. Sometimes it turns out that the washing machine could fit perfectly if the hatch door opened in the other direction. Let's figure it out, is it possible to re-hang the sash?

Why is it almost impossible to overweight

In the vast majority of cases, the task of re-hanging the washing machine door is impossible. Equipment manufacturers simply do not provide this option. The point is not in the hinges, but in the hatch locking device and the key “hole”, which are located on the right. Therefore, in order for the machine to close normally, the hatch must swing open to the left, as was originally intended by the engineers. the problem is the location of the lock

In theory, moving hinges and doors from left to right is, of course, possible. True, you need to arm yourself with tools and move the hatch locking device to the opposite side. In addition, you will have to drill a new keyhole for the door hook. And these are additional holes in the body.

There is no point in re-hanging the door on machines where this option is not provided - this will only harm the washing machine.

If you need an automatic machine that opens to the right, you can take a closer look at these models. The variety of equipment is great, so finding the right washing machine will not be difficult.

Inexpensive machines with right-hand hinges

Hanging the door of a washing machine is quite problematic, so it is better to immediately pay attention to models whose hatch opens in the desired direction.The catch is that there are not many machines with right-handed hinges, and not all manufacturers offer such equipment for sale.

Thus, the Candy AQUA 1D1035-07 automatic machine received a lot of positive feedback. This narrow, front-loading washing machine amazes users with its high-quality build, compact size, rich software, and quiet operation. The model costs about $200.

The dimensions of the narrow washing machine Candy AQUA 1D1035-07 are 51 cm (width), 46 cm (depth) and 70 cm (height). These dimensions and the door opening to the right allow you to place the washing machine even in the most compact room. The body of the machine is protected from leaks, the possibility of automatic balancing of the drum and control over excessive foaming is provided.

The South Korean brand LG also produces automatic cars, the door of which can be hung on the right. For example, you should pay attention to the LG F-10B8SD0 model. The washing machine can be installed permanently or built into furniture.

The LG F-10B8SD0 washing machine with a direct drive system is equipped with a reliable modern inverter motor.

The advantages of inverter motors are obvious. These motors:

If your budget allows, you can consider an automatic machine from the middle price segment. The Swiss brand Eurosoba is little known in Russia, but has long proven its reliability. So, we recommend paying attention to the narrow Eurosoba 600 washing machine, installed under the sink. The cost of the model is approximately 42-43 thousand rubles.

"Frontalka" is compact in size. The body measures 46 centimeters in width and depth, 68 cm in height, and the device weighs only 36 kg. A small narrow machine can wash up to 3.5 kg of laundry at a time. Other characteristics of the model:

There is a foam suppression system and automatic drum balancing. There is also a child lock feature for the control panel. Car Eurosoba 600 is distinguished by high build quality, the manufacturer is confident in its equipment, so it provides a four-year warranty on the device.

A significant drawback of Eurosoba 600 is its low-power spin. The machine is capable of accelerating the drum to a maximum of six hundred revolutions per minute.This is explained by the fact that the “home assistant” is built under the sink and simply cannot develop high speed, otherwise the intensity of the vibrations will be too strong. The washing machine also does not have a display.
