I have a problem, I bought a Beko RCNA406E63ZXBN refrigerator and the door opens to the right. Me, or rather my wife :) I need them to open to the left. Everything would go smoothly if not for the top hinge covered with a plastic cover that won't come off. I do not want to force it, because...

Call the service if they do not provide such a service. I did it because I couldn't get the left hinge anywhere and it was needed because it was a mirror image of the right hinge (the website had it).

I just wanted to avoid the website, because the costs are high. Isn't it the case that we put the hinge on the left and the rest, and that's it?

This is not the case in every refrigerator. Check the manual what I write on this topic (change of the door opening direction). However, I will still ask if it has a display on the door?

In the manual, it is only to report to the service. It has a display in the door and a wire from both sides.

What does wire led out from both sides mean. They told me that because the wires pass through the hinge to the display (I also have on the door) this does not allow you to change the direction of door opening .

That is, there is an ankle cord on the left and on the right.

I have the same problem. The cube cord is on both sides of the door, but the fridge has a cord on one side and you probably need to remove the plastic strip at the top of the fridge to replace it. I just don't know how to disassemble this strip. Someone will tell?

I do not have a Beko refrigerator, but mine has blind screws in the upper part of the door. After unscrewing, all the plastic comes off. The only problem is that (I have looked at some Beko manuals) the instructions show that the upper hinge should be replaced with a new one (suitable for the opening direction). And the second thing. Make sure that changing (personally) the direction of door opening in the new refrigerator will not void the warranty (mine had such a provision).

That's right, only these plugs looked as if they had to be broken off and that's why I was afraid. I decided to take a chance and with the knife they gently popped out and there were 2 screws :-) It's over, but thanks for the tip. Regards.

That I will ask. Did you change the direction of the door opening? And you did it? Because the author has been silent for a long time.

I have a problem, I bought a Beko RCNA406E63ZXBN refrigerator and the door opens to the right. Me, or rather my wife I need them to open to the left. Everything would go smoothly if not for the top hinge covered with a plastic cover that won't come off. I do not want to force it, because the refrigerator is new and in case of damage, even the warranty will not cover it.
Please help.

It has a display in the door and a wire from both sides.

What does "wire led out from both sides" mean. They told me that because the wires pass through the hinge to the display (I also have on the door) this "does not allow" you to change the direction of door opening .

Yes, she came today and I wrote this post while changing the direction of opening the door.
Everything went smoothly, the fridge is already cooling on and the display is working normally.
There are some problems with the screw holes on the top and bottom of the refrigerator, they are kind of plugged with "plastic" but I drilled slightly and it went.

The subject of the post is Beko RCNA406E 63 ZXBN and my model is RCNA406E 60 ZXBHN but the differences are minimal.

So, it was without the purchase of new hinges?

I bought yesterday, today I brought it and the set included "hinges" and probably 2 small and 2 large additional plugs at the top, so you do not have to buy anything.
I asked the Lord in the store if I could change it myself, about the warranty, he asked the service to ask.
I called the Beko hotline in the store and they said that if I do not damage anything, I can do it myself, but the manual says that the service does it.

It went smoothly, it works, it cools beautifully, it shines

FAQ

TL;DR: Want to swap Beko RCNA406E6x door swing? The box included 2 small and 2 large plugs; "If you don't damage anything, you can do it yourself," said the Beko hotline via Luda. For RCNA406E63ZXBN owners needing a left-opening door, here’s what worked. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902855]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps RCNA406E63ZXBN owners change door swing safely, avoid damage, and understand warranty implications.

Quick Facts

The official manual directs owners to contact service for door reversal; DIY isn’t described. [Elektroda, precik19, post #18877250]
The top cover is held by hidden caps and 2 screws; pry caps gently with a knife. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902362]
Some RCNA406E6x units include a hinge kit plus 2 small and 2 large top plugs. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902855]
Upper and lower screw holes may be plastic-filled; a light drill pass cleared them. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902695]
Hotline stance: DIY allowed if nothing is damaged; otherwise use service. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902855]

How do I remove the top hinge cover without breaking it?

Use a simple three-step approach.

Gently pry out the plastic plugs with a thin knife.
Remove the two screws underneath.
Lift off the plastic top cover. The caps pop out cleanly when lifted carefully. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902362]

Do I need to buy a left hinge, or can I reuse the right?

Some models need a mirror-image left hinge. One user couldn’t source it and asked service to handle it. Service provided the correct left hinge and performed the swap. Check availability before starting. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #18877195]

Does the RCNA406E63ZXBN manual let me reverse the door myself?

The manual instruction was to report the task to service. It didn’t provide DIY steps. Follow the manual’s guidance if you want official handling. [Elektroda, precik19, post #18877250]

Will changing the door swing void my warranty?

A user phoned the Beko hotline and was told DIY is allowed if nothing is damaged. "If I do not damage anything, I can do it myself," they reported. Confirm with your seller for your unit. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902855]

Can I reverse a model with a door display and hinge cable?

Yes. A user reversed an RCNA406E60ZXBHN, then powered on and tested. Cooling and the door display worked normally afterward. This suggests the process can work with display-equipped doors. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902695]

Where are the display cables, and do both sides have connectors?

One owner reported a door connector block on both sides of the door. The fridge harness was on one side and required removing the top plastic strip to relocate. Plan your routing before moving hinges. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902275]

What tool removes those top cover plugs without damage?

Use a thin knife to gently pop the plugs out. They release cleanly and reveal the screws underneath. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902362]

Why are some screw holes blocked at the top and bottom?

Some holes are filled with plastic from the factory. A slight drill pass was enough to clear them for the screws. Work slowly to avoid damage. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902695]

Are extra hinges and plugs included with new RCNA406E6x fridges?

A buyer received "hinges" plus 2 small and 2 large plugs in the set. No extra parts purchase was needed for their reversal. Check your box contents first. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902855]

How many screws hold the top cover?

Two screws sit under the pop-out caps on the top cover. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902362]

I heard hinge wires prevent reversal—is that true?

One participant was told that display wires routed through the hinge prevent reversal. Treat this as an edge case to verify before disassembly. Ask support for your unit’s configuration. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #18877263]

If I can’t source a left hinge, who can help?

Contact service. They supplied the mirror-image left hinge and completed the change when a user couldn’t find it retail. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #18877195]

Are the RCNA406E63ZXBN and RCNA406E60ZXBHN procedures different?

A user completed the swap on RCNA406E60ZXBHN and said the differences are minimal. This suggests similar steps for RCNA406E63ZXBN. [Elektroda, Luda, post #18902695]
