Yes this model can be reversed. Your best bet for instructions is to reference page 5 of 13 in your owner's manual for the instructions and needed tools. You may download the manual from the manufacturer's website at www.frigidaire.com/manuals.

The instructions are below:


1. Remove toe grille.
2. Remove top hinge cover. Trace around the hinge with a soft lead pencil. This
makes reinstallation easier. Remove top hinge and lift door off center hinge pin.
Set door aside.
3. Unscrew center hinge pin using adjustable wrench and save for reassembly.
Ensure plastic washer stays on hinge pin.
4. Lift refrigerator door off of bottom hinge and set aside.
5. Remove center hinge and shim by removing inside screw and loosening two
outside screws enough to allow hinge and shim to slide out. Tighten screws.
6. Loosen two outside screws on opposite side of refrigerator, remove inside
screw and install center hinge.
7. Remove two screws on bottom hinge with 3/8” socket wrench.
8. Install bottom hinge on opposite side with the two screws removed from step 7.
9. Unscrew bottom hinge pin using adjustable wrench. Move hinge pin to other
hole in hinge and tighten with adjustable wrench.
10. Reverse door handles (see instructions on next page).
11. Move freezer and refrigerator door stops to opposite side. Before starting
screws, use an awl to puncture the foam.
12. Position refrigerator door onto bottom hinge pin and screw center hinge pin
through center hinge into top of door. Close refrigerator door to help align hinge
hole.
13. Tighten center hinge pin with adjustable wrench.
14. Remove cabinet and hinge hole plugs and move to opposite side.
15. Lower freezer door onto center hinge pin.
16. Close freezer door. Have an assistant lift up on opposite side of door while
tightening screws to install top hinge.
17. Flip toe grille and reinstall.
18. Plug in electrical power cord and turn refrigerator temperature control to center
position. Adjust setting as necessary.
