refrigerator door? hi, wondering if anyone used to repair stainless steel frig door dings?

I would guess the answer is yes. I've used it successfully on a noticeable dent on my van, so i think it should work on your fridge. It didn't remove the dent completely, but it's much less noticeable. I would assume that steel on a car is stronger than on a fridge. However, it depends on the type of dent. If it's smooth, then it's fixable, but not a sharp dent.

Here is what you need to do: Look inside your fridge - there should be a sticker with the model#. Go to Sears website (they have diagrams of each compartment of the fridge with pictures of each individual part and the corresponding model#): http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Frigidaire-Parts/Refrigerator-Parts/ After you find the model# for the SPECIFIC shelf that needs replacing, you paste that info into Amazon search and VIOLA! I've broken and replaced two shelves in my 2 year old frigidaire already and another has a crack forming... I'll definitely think twice about which brand I go with when I purchase my next one! Hope this helps!

We are in the process now of changing out our appliances to SS. We will use the film on the dishwasher. It looks exactly like the SS and it feels fairly thick. I think it would cover and hide a shallow dent, but if the side of the frig is open to a lot of contact I am not sure yet how it would hold up.

yes, I was working in a booth that has plastic flaps for the door and they broke the knob. I was able to epoxy the original but because of the warranty had the maker send me two replacements just in case! They had great service.

The answer to this is most likely... I say this as there is very little data, and I am by no means a frig specialist. You can find this out pretty easily. At the bottom of your frig there should be a removable skirting. Then underneath the frig itself, there is a plastic bag with a large folded piece of paper within. This is the maintenance guide for your unit. Included on this will be a diagram of the wiring. First, do not loose this, as repair men typically do not have copies of this, so place it in a safe place you will remember. On the wiring diagram, as noted, there will be the control board identifier. If it indicates Jazz, this is your control board. The answer to this is most likely...

Not in my experience....if you went to prying on the sealing surface with a screwdriver, you could work it off but not by pulling on the refrigerator door. You would knock everything off the door shelves and may even cause some damage to the door trying to yank it open. If the pad mating surface of the refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly before the pads are attached, they will attached with a very strong bond. The adhesive used on these pads is not like double sided tape, the material is much thinner and much stronger. Again, for this lock to work properly the mating surfaces MUST be clean. Hope this helps. Not in my experience....if you went to prying on the sealing surface with a screwdriver, you could work it off but not by pulling on the refrigerator door.

This fridge I have is pretty new, so no problems yet, but as soon as the warranty expire (2 year warranty that you can buy for $9.99 if you want) I guess you can expect all kinds of problems as with any other appliance. For defrost maintenance I use not-abrasive/friendly tips that you can find everywhere online. Hope it helps, cheers.

I am not sure about that BUT my daughter has a refrigerator with a door bin busted out of it too, and I looked INSIDE the refrigerator, got the model no. etc. and looked up in my area a parts sales place for those brand refrigerators that HAD the part in stock that she would need. Anyway, it does look like the same part and hey, if it doesn't fit, you can return it...right? Hassle, yes, but not all is lost, that way.

Sorry it has been about six months since I actually repaired that machine. The customer serivce department was helpful when I was searching for this part though. Mr. Nelson....I will say that I remember finding a part that looked and seemed almost identical....but it was not! I apologize I could not be more help.

Yes, I experienced this. The primary issue I had was the metal plate was unbalanced and rubbed against the stainless at the opening. I tried unsuccessfully to rebalance and was never able to get it to work properly.

Mine did this after some use. Here's what I did. Open the door all the way and use pliers to move that flimsy hinge at the bottom slightly to the right. Gently. It's really of poor quality. Now the door closes all the way. Clever me.

We thought ours was dying until we read a question about the door latches being the issue (I had to slam the door shut to get it started). If i'ts a bit hard, spray the outside hooks holes with a lubricant and work the hooks up and down a bit to allow it to penetrate the mechanism. Did it with a lubricant (not silicone). Our 3-yr-old microwave is working like a charm again: no need to slam the door anymore!

After 4 different service calls and 2 new boards, I ended up trashing the fridge. Nothing worked that repairmen said would work. GE was absolutely no help at all. Not what I expected from a top of the line name brand appliance less than 6 yrs old. Good luck.

This refrigerator has a defective ice maker. There is a class action lawsuit in effect for it. You can probably find it on line. Frigidaire is made by Electrolux and they have very similar unit that is also in the suit.

I removed a small section on my fridge, as I applied it incorrectly and simply would not do. I quickly learned not to make any more mistakes. I had quite a workout that day from the experience, but I fixed it. My advise: I don't recommend removal of it.

I haven't tried to remove one, but this new adhesive is pretty much an epoxy type cold weld. I doubt it can be removed without damaging the refrigerator. Maybe you should contact 3M and see if there is a liquid remover product that would release the adhesive??
