This section covers the fridge and its parts.

Itemised in order of problems encountered with the fridge!

Right hand freezer door hinge breaking (then the left hand one breaks!)

A regular problem on all freezer compartments due to a design fault!

Almost all caravan and motorhomes are fitted with the same hinge!

Break point

Weak point

Most caravan suppliers have the part (581) at about £20 a time!

Quick Solution

Change the screw from countersunk to round head and fit with a large washer to spread the load over the weak point.

Yes, do it NOW before the current hinge breaks!

With both broken ones to be replaced and a slightly different pattern.

Hopefully without the design fault!
