Fitting flap

How do I fit the flap without knackering either the freezer or the flap. We have a broken one already

    A simple impact adhesive should be suitable as it will not come into contact with food directly. We are sorry but manufacturers do not provide fitting instructions for most parts that why we have made so many fix it videos.

  • Oh dear - this sounds complicated. What kind of glue is required? I will try soaking the flap in hot water. Am about to order the flap again - the original smashed into pieces, and I returned the replacement flap because it didn't fit the freezer. Why aren't these instructions provided with the flap?

    There are two methods, either warm the flap in hot water to help make it less brittle to carefully bend over the pivot or use a blunt knife to carefully prise the pivot mount from the liner and reglue it back after fitting.
