Default Reverse door on a stainless steel fridge
Brand: KitchenAid
Model Number: KBRA29ELSS01
Age: 1 - 4 years

I would like to reverse the door on my stainless steel kitchen-aid KBRA20ELSS01. It opens from the left side and I want it to open from the right side.

The door itself does not have the other set of holes like the painted fridges, so iIcan't just move the handle. Is it possible to switch? Do I need to order a whole new door and if so is the right part to do it the PS885106? Does this come with the necessary components or is there more stuff I need to order?

If your fridge does not have the holes required this means that the doors are not reversible.

A lot of fridges have to be ordered with either a left or right hand swing.

Sorry not much you can do in this case.

The fridge itself has symmetric holes on both sides where the door is mounted. Is there a reason I couldn't just buy the opposite door and bracket and replace the existing door?
