Dent in Stainless Freezer Door

[dalespitfire]

Hi,

Rather foolishly I have dented our freezer door – a nice crease.

I’m after a replacement door or door shell.

Its and LG Side by Side, model GWB227WLQA in stainless finish.

CAn anyone point me towards one of these apart from SEME.

Thanks,

Phill

Hi Phill

I would be looking to claim this against your accidental damage cover on your household insurance policy as it will probably be an expensive part to replace being stainless steel and all. An email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk should get the ball rolling for price and availability.

HTH 🙂

Ian probably was thinking this was a trade thread, it’d make no sense otherwise. 😉

You do have a bit of an issue though Phill.

These doors will usually come complete, at a truly horrific cost, after a long wait and are quite often either wrong or damaged on delivery. For some reason both Samsung and LG suffer from this and it is most annoying to say the least. Especially so when you get a few of them as they take up a lot of space as well as cash. 😕

Dave is not keen on ordering them at all for these reasons. We can get them normally but, the caveats apply. It’s just better to tell people up front I find.

You can bet a stainless door will be at least £150 and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was over £200 for one.

I just checked and the current price listed for that door is….

Wait for it….

£476.38!!!

Non-returnable, non-cancelable and a special factory order.

Truly scary.

You can get the whole thing for £500 :rolls:

Truly mental. I bet the insurance company wouldn’t be keen on that price either.

I wonder then is it worth stripping the door back and trying to smooth the dent out from the inside?

[kwatt]

It will, most probably, be a foamed door (the foam used as insulation holds it all together) so you won’t be able to split it apart to do that.

Sorry. It’s a result of making them cheaper.

This might help ? http://cpc.farnell.com/duratool/d00215/ … dentpuller

I have had mixed results using mine , but for the price and lack of effort required , it maybe worth a go

Hi,

cheers for all the assistance.

Its actually more of a crease so the dent puller wouldn’t work but good suggestion.

If I can’t get in from behind either, then its either live with it and stick a fridge magnet over it, or get onto the insurance where I’ve got a £150 excess anyway!

oooh, i always thought this thread was a can of worms

the other REAL problem? colour match

recently, someone (who shall remain nameless) fitted a samsung mod kit
customer rings in ‘engineers damsged freezer door’
door ordered… fitted (ridiculous money)

next phonecall? yep – ‘its a different shade’

you could have no possible concept of how much that jobs cost, for a little dent

Actually had a flash of inspiration the other day.

We’ll be having a new kitchen this year and probably be replacing our oven for a cream range…..so why not have the fridge doors covered in matching vinyl?

I can fill the little ding smooth underneath and the fridge looks brand new :-).
