Beko RCNA406E63ZXBN - changing the side of opening the refrigerator door

Question

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.

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?

precik19 · Answer

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.

Luda · Answer

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).

Luda · Answer

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.

Luda · Answer

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.

ta_tar · Answer

So, it was without the purchase of new hinges?

Luda · Answer

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 :-)
