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]
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.
