|
|
The refrigerator catch, the aluminum part that screws into the surround of the refrigerator on mine has been bent, twisted, bent again in all the wrong places I cannot get it catch the door latch.
Is there a repop or does anyone have one they would sell me? I am sick and tired of try to fix a PO's continued fuckups with it.

Can't help you with that, looking for fridge racks for myself, happy to watch for this for you at though.
Suspect I know why someone bent it though. Used my fridge last week for the first time. Once it finally got nice and cold, it would no longer open properly. It was *really* strange. I pulled the lever all the way open and looked at it more than once trying to figure out what was wrong with it. It appeared to open all the way. Then, you close the door. Then, try to re-open it, but REALLY have to pull to get it open. Like hard, like I was worried I was going to break something doing it...
I get home, to look at it again, now the fridge is off and warm again. Opens no problem. Well that's strange I think. Close it open it again. No problem. Nothing wrong with it.
So, perhaps, this strange phenomenon happened to your PO and s/he bent it to prevent it from happening again...
Any one else experience this? The solution? Ever get it so stuck it wouldn't open? Freaked me out w/ food in it! LOL
