Door switch insert direction matters during reassembly
When reassembling the door switch to the Frame Front, the insert direction is critical. The disassembly method is specific: press the Door S/W hook and pull toward the frame front surface, then pull in the 5 o'clock direction to separate the left part, then pull to the front side. Reversing this process incorrectly will cause malfunction and may trigger dC or dF error codes.
Door reversal is a 16-step process with 14 screws
Reversing the door direction is a detailed 16-step procedure involving 14 screws (2 of which are longer than the rest — marked 'L'). During the process, you must exchange positions of the cover-hinge/handle-door and holder-hinge/guider-holder-glass. A spare cover-hole is included in the assembly manual. When reinstalling the door on the frame front, carefully check the positions of the hinge door screws. Use a flat head screwdriver to remove the cover-holder's cover-hinge.
