Page 3 of your manual.
As there are electrics then there will be some technical work and possibly some rewiring required to reverse them (if they can be reversed).

Thanks for your response, but as I said, there is nothing in the instruction manual. Not really sure why you're referring to page 3 specifically?
The doors can be reversed, but the info that came with the appliance says to call Hotpoint for guidance. I was hoping someone could offer a more practical solution before I endeavor to take instruction over the telephone.

You say there's no info but on page 3 it tells you that you need to contact Hotpoint, that's why I referred you to page 3 of the manual.
The reason you need to contact them is most likely that connectors have to be cut off, wiring moved and new connectors fitted.
It's very unlikely that the Indesit company will tell you how to do it, they'll want to charge you for an engineer visit.

Thank you for your responses. I'm aware that there will be electrical work, which is why I'm after some instruction. I do not want to risk voiding my warranty by pulling apart the door without at least trying to find someone who can offer some instruction from experience.
I probably could pull off the covers and have a go, but my query here was an attempt to avoid having to guess...!

I have a new Hotpoint fridge (also with electrics in the door) and wanted to reverse the door as well. There are no instructions to reverse the door in the manual because it has electrics in it and Hotpoint do not want owners swapping it themselves, thats what they told me. They send out an engineer for free (yes for free) to swap the door for you. Unless you've maybe had it a few years? But then you said its still under warranty! I stood next to the geezer and can report it wouldn't be too hard for a competent DIYer in any case.
