    Got a call on this the other day (I normally stay away from them but I was doing other work there) and it has a couple of probs maybe someone can help me with.

    The round spigot things that protrude from the inner lining and hold up the drawers/shelves in the fridge have broken off in a couple of places and it looks to me like the can’t be replaced from the inside, has anyone any info?

    Also, the freezer is freezing up and when she opens the door to get stuff out it leaks a little onto the floor. I’ve told her to defrost it completely first and she’s doing that at the mo but she swears she has done that before to no avail so I’m expecting a call back for that.
    Is there any common problems for this snag?

    Cheers all

    This is a Maytag FF .

    2 possible solutions to the broken shelf bearings –
    Bosch part no’s : 184186 or 188400 – Both are repair kits for the bearings . The first is a screw-in fixing point , a bit like a plasterboard rawl plug . The second is a ‘push-in’ kind of clip . IIRC , both work ok .
    The water/ice build up may be a build up of gunge/bacteria in the drain hose of the freezer compartment . You may need to clear the drain hole behind the panel in the freezer compartment then remove and clean the drain hose at the lower rear of the machine.

    Thanks a mil Paul,

    Do I need the broken bits off the old shelf bearings for any of these repair options or do they come with all that is needed as the old bearings are gone gone.
    And if they both come with everything, would you recommend one over the other?

    Cheers

    Its a long time since i did one but i think the 2nd one fits into the hole created by the broken bearing if thats whats happened. option one requires a 5mm pilot hole drilling. …..price wise , option 1 is £3 or £4 , option 2 is about £8 but you might need to check with BSH first. Wonder if its worth ordering one of each ? I’m vaguely thinking option 2 was the more successful
