- On a 500, 600, 700, 400, Classic Series (BI), Classic Wine (BW), or Undercounter Wine (UW) can the door be reversed?
- Can the door swing on a Legacy Undercounter Series (UC), Designer Undercounter (DEU), Undercounter Ice Maker, Designer (IT, IC), or Designer Wine (IW) be switched?
- Change Sub-Zero door swing from left hinge to right hinge or from right hinge to left hinge
- Reverse door, reverse door hinge, or reverse door swing to open from other side
Answer:
The door swing of a Sub-Zero cannot be changed on most models. There is no hinge mechanism, mounting plate, or support to hold the door on the non-hinge side.
- The models listed in the table below may have the door swing reversed after installation. Any model not listed is not able to have the door reversed.
- Only the UC-15I Ice Maker may have the door reversed in the field. It is not possible to change the door swing of all other Legacy UC Undercounter Models. See UC-24 Door Swing Reversal.
- Additional parts are needed to change most door swings to the opposite side. Contact a Factory Certified Parts Distributor to order parts.
- Freestanding Undercounter Wine Storage units are only available as right hinge units. Refer to Freestanding Undercounter Wine Storage Hinge Options for more information.
