Door switch insert direction critical during reassembly
When reassembling the door switch to the Frame Front, the insert direction is critical. Installing the door switch in the wrong orientation will cause it to malfunction and may trigger dC or dF error codes. The manual specifically warns to be careful of insert direction.
Door reversal is possible — detailed procedure in manual
The DV3400T has a reversible door. The door reversal procedure involves removing 10 screws, switching the glass holder, hinge covers, door handle, and hole covers between sides. Screw B (x2) is longer than the others — note this during disassembly. The procedure is detailed in Section 3-2 and involves 11 steps.
