I reversed the door on a Chefmate BC-87/H. Folowing are the basic steps from the manual.

Manual says do not tilt fridge more than 45 degrees while working on it.

1. Remove the upper hinge cap

2. Remove the plug buttons.

3. Remove the Phillips screws that connect the upper hinge on the right side of the fridge.

4. Carefully lift the door and put it in a safe place.

5. Remove the 2 screws that hold the lower hinge. Attach it to the other side.

6. Remove the screw type leveling front leg and transfer it to the other side.

7. Set the door on the new side pin and loosely secure the upper hinge on the new side.

8. Loosely secure the hardware / hinges , adjust the door while closed to fit snug, and then tighten hinges. Put plug caps back in.

9. Word OF CAUTION ! DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS. (I stripped the bottom screws holding the hinge, had to put on oversize ones top make it all work).

10. Good Luck.

11. Problem I have with mine it doesn't cool enough (???) . Goes to 40 degrees and that's it. Small freezer works fine to 20 degrees.
