Broke the top hinge on RM2862 Fridge

[caissiel]

The fridge door fell on theft wife last night. Top plastic hinge broke off.
Had to do an emergency repair. Later found that there repair kit available but I am it might just ne a patch job.

Anyone had same problem and what was done.

We had the bottom hinge on our Dometic break also but it was in warranty and had a repair person order a new door. When he received it he came out and installed it.

His note was that we keep a number of items in the door and suggested that we not put many items in the dooor.

Well we still keep a lot of items in the door and so far it is still doing well..

Top of door corner that supports the hinge pin broke on our Dometic RM1350.
I super glued it until I can check the parts list to order a new one.
An rv tech told me he thinks Dometic makes a retrofit add on piece to reinforce the corners of the 1350. (and possibly others) I will be looking into that as well.
It is a heavy door to begin with, so we have begun to minimize putting large, heavy containers in the door.
