Can I change the door swing on my washer extractor?
Door swing can be changed on some Milnor Washer Extractors, specifically those with the black knob door handle. But, changing a door swing in the field is requires some work and is costly.
So, you want a door to swing the other way.  It can be done on newer washer models that use the black knob door handle.  

In summary, the following parts shown below need to be changed to make it look "original".  
You will need to:

Replace the original door frame (the black part, not the door) with modified holes for mounting.

Remount the original door to the new frame.

Install the reverse door handle.

Install the Reverse interlock.

Remove the door interlock to console conduit.

Replace the bottom cosmetic with the new console with right hand hole for conduit. Wire the new interlock by extending the wires to the new conduit and interlock. Be sure to secure the wires to avoid vibration.  

Install the right hand conduit to door interlock housing.  Also know that the new left hand door lock turns CCW to lock.  



For the 30015 and 30022 models, these parts are needed in the field. The approximate cost is $2200 for these parts plus installation labor.  And, the owner must know that the parts are reversed for future spare parts requirements. These parts are probably not in the parts manual provided.  A copy of this article should be left in the owners's manual, stapled to the page for the door lock.
