LG DLEX7900BE Dryer - Door Orientation Issue/Question

[dustmann3479]

Can anyone assist me with how to purchase a particular part for this LG Dryer? It is a little white plastic piece with a spring attached to it. It allows the dryer door to snap into the frame and switch to opening in a horizontal motion (instead of vertical). I went through the LG Website to ask about it, but no one was able to find what I am looking for. I also went through appliancepros.com to see if they could figure it out. They thought that they did figure it out, but it ended up being the part that this white plastic part sits inside rather than the white plastic part itself (MJH63096801 was what they sent me).

And if this part does not exist for purchase, is there any way to get another maybe 3D printed or something? We currently can only open the dryer in the vertical orientation because of this.  The part I am looking for is circled in red in the pictures.

I try to find it, but I cannot find it.

If it is not shown in the diagram above, it may not be purchasable separate from the door assembly.

Maybe try to lookup by using this model number: DLEX7600KE

It takes the same part that was sent to you and seems to show more of the parts in the area you are looking for but it looks to me like the door should be reversible by just swapping the parts from one side to the other - shouldn't need any new or different parts then what already is in the dryer door to reverse the door open swing direction.
