Fridge arms broken...

    Hi there,

    Our fridge (Gourmet pride) appears to be dropping when opened making clinky noise, fridge itself working fine but seems 'steels arms' holding fridge door in place seem to be problem. We have tried tightening screws etc

    Just looking for solution to fix..I contacted 'Country kitchens' who I must admit were not too helpful, they said they would charge €100 call out..seems a bit steep. Yesterday spoke with a lovely man from 'Bray services' but he told me they are basically 'poor quality fittings' and can't be replaced! Just wondering if anyone has come across this problem and found solution? It seems a real waste of money to have to replace fridge when its working fine....:confused:

    thanks.

    You could try buyspares.co.uk - great site, and if they don't stock the brand of hinge you can give them the relevant details and they will do their best to source it.

    are they these type of hinges? Do they have INGOL written on them??? You can get them from Amazon (obviously) and also Shomar in Dublin. Best give Shomar a ring and give them your appliance details.

    Don't know if this will help you (or be a long-term solution), but we had the same thing on our fridge a few months ago and I 'lifted' the door by pulling up on the handle - everything's still working fine (and, if nothing else, it got rid of the clinky noise).

    You will find replacements on ebay. I bought a couple a year back. I'll see if I can find them.

    EDIT: here is the link to my original thread. Ebay link is in there. Not sure if it's still live though. Blocked in work.
