[LG Refrigerator] Can I Reverse the Door on My Refrigerator?

Troubleshooting

Most LG refrigerator doors are designed to open from left to right and are not easily reversible.
However, certain models do support door reversal. Even so, it can be difficult to do on your own.
To have this done safely, contact LG Customer Support for service.

How to Request a Door Reversal Service

  1. 1. Check if your model supports door reversal: Not all refrigerators support this feature.
    Check your user manual or contact LG Customer Support to confirm whether your model is eligible.
  2. 2. Schedule a professional service visit: Door reversal affects both safety and product performance.
    To avoid injury or damage, do not attempt this yourself — contact LG Customer Support to schedule a professional service visit.
  3. 3. Locate your included hinge parts: Hinge designs vary by model. For models with a universal hinge (compatible with either side), no additional hinge is needed.
    For models with reversible doors, a left-side hinge is typically provided at the time of purchase. Please have this ready for the technician.

Important: What to Know Before You Book

  • Service fees apply: Door reversal is a paid service.
    The exact method and cost vary depending on your refrigerator model.
  • Replacement parts may cost extra: If the original hinge parts included at purchase have been lost, additional charges may apply to source replacement parts during the service visit.
