Chris Y Denver , NC May 10, 2016 A toddler in the house discovered it was easy to fling open the refrigerator door to get her milk bottle the door stop on the fridge door became a quick casualty The fix involved removing the two bolts holding the broken door stop and bolting in place the new stop. Unless you take the door off, you have to work by feel due to the position of the door stop and the bolts holding the stop in place. A little patience is all that's required. A flip lock designed to keep kids out of cupboards is now in place so the damage won't reoccur. But if it does, its a quick, easy and inexpensive fix.

Herb B Colton , CA November 14, 2023 Freezer door not staying shut. I replaced the freezer lever assembly and spring fair quickly. Just in case they were worn. My problem was the cam closure was cracked. So replaced with new one. I didn't even have to remove the freezer door. Used my ratcheting right-angle screwdriver with a 20-torx bit. Took all of 15 minutes to remove the old and put on the new one. There is no need to remove the door if you don't have this handy little tool it's easy to get. Read More...
