My fridge has a door handle on each side, and can be opened either way. For some reason that feature appealed to me. Also I had not decided on my kitchen layout when I bought it.

Most can be changed - unless the handle is heavily stylised and built into the pressing. Usually you can tell when you open the door - there will be some redundant fixing points where pivots can be changed over.

I looked at those in the shop. I was put off by the thought of how complicated the hinges must be though. The door must come pretty close to falling off every time you open it. I'm sure my family would be able to make it go past that point before long...
Cheers,

The fridge has been fine for 14 years. My brother keeps moaning about how it is bound to go wrong, but he's just jealous. Most people don't notice the two handles. One person tried to hold both handles thinking that the whole door would fall off.

The way to find out is to download the user manual.
If you are not a confident DIY'er, or don't have tools (spanners etc.) then usually the shop will swap the door over for you for a small[ish] charge.
I have done it on two. The more recent one was more fiddly because there was wiring in the door.

I didn't know they'd been around that long. They're still pretty rare here. Just one model in a big branch of Currys last time I looked.
I did spend about 5 minutes in the shop trying to get the door to fall off by taking it by surprise, jiggling both handles etc. I had to admit defeat in the end.
Cheers,
Colin.

I disguised myself as an upright Hoover and jumped out from behind the adjacent toaster display :o)

handles thinking that the whole door would fall off.
When I bought the fridge (a Sharp Fresco) there was an advertising brochure that showed the fridge with the door open both sides. But the items in the door were the opposite way around and the writing on the bottles was rever sed. So they had done the advertising with Photoshop before they even had a working fridge!
