Is it possible to switch opening hinge to the left?
I'd like to buy Miele washing machine, but all Miele products have hinge on the right side (while others manufactures on left) I have really small laundry room and for me this is a deal breaker if it is not possible to switch the hinge. I have contacted several places but I got conflicting information. Maybe someone on this forum already have some experience in that matter.

Miele washing machine door hinge cannot be changed to the left
- The problem
- The user wanted to know whether a Miele washing machine door could be re-hung from right-hand opening to left-hand opening due to limited space in a small laundry room.
- Likely cause
- According to the accepted reply, the door hinge is not reversible on these washing machines because the door must align with a wired door lock, unlike some fridge doors that use a magnetic closure.
- What fixed it
- No hinge conversion was recommended. The accepted advice was that changing the door opening side is not possible on Miele washing machines.

Hi. No it’s not possible and probably never will be. It’s only possible to change doors around in fridges because they just have a magnetic closing but in washing machines (and tumble dryers) the doors have to close into a door lock with wiring.
