Hi Ralph, the question should be WHY is everyone else building washers with the door hinged the WRONG way, most people are right handed and a right handed door is easier to walk up to and open [ ever notice that RH door refs are considered normal in most of the world ? ].
You raise an interesting point and many times the SQs RH door has caused us to have to reconfigure laundry rooms, but you would also be surprised how often we sell a SQ FL washer just because it is RH hinged. Many times it has been when we were replacing a MT Neptune where the door was hinged on the right.
I do think the best way to build a FL washer would be one that has a reversible door and all dryers should have a hamper door except stack models which should also be reversible.
If I ran the world it would be a better place, LOL. |

John, at our previous house, the SQ FL would have been perfect, but currently a left hinged washer is what we need. I agree that the doors should be reversible or, like Martin suggested, drop-down a la Westinghouse. If all dryers and FL washers had drop-down doors, placement would never be an issue. |

Do any current FL washers offer a reversible wing door? It would be possible to do for sure, but more complicated with the lock assembly...
As for the hamper door dryers I used to think they were great, less socks hit the floor... But since replacing an old Kenmore with the hamper door with a newer Cabrio with a swinging door, I have realized at how much easier it is to reach items in the rear of the dryer. The hamper door is likely called that because it 'hampers' access to the rear of the drum! |
