Remove door frame to living room and tear down wall?

[Christoffer Hilmersson]

Hello,

My wife and I have bought a house and planning has begun. House built in '58, extended part since '76.

I have two questions regarding load-bearing walls.
At the red marking, there is currently a double door, which we want to get rid of and at the same time would like to get rid of the door frame. To the question - the door frame is unlikely to be load-bearing, right?

At the blue marking, we would like to tear down the wall between the dining area and bedroom to expand the kitchen. The dining, bedroom, and laundry area is an extension. I assume the wall we want to tear down is not load-bearing, but do you think the wall by the fridge and freezer belonging to the "original house" is - do you think? Said wall should be supported considering it is open otherwise?

Any tips?

Blue: Old exterior walls are usually load-bearing. Bring in a structural engineer who can assess the construction and determine what can be done at a reasonable cost.

It's openings that are reinforced, not walls. Remaining walls are often used as support for the beam of the reinforcement.
