Fitting Replacement Hettich Hinges – Integrated Fridge

[GWhite]

I’ve ordered a set of these hinges https://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/481231018672-built-in-fridge-freezer-hinge-set to replace broken hinges follow a discussion with a UK White Goods member of staff.

However I can’t work out where the spacers fit in relation to the hinge and door as the current hinges do not have the spacers. Apparently these are an older version.

Can anyone give me a hint as to where the two plastic spaces fit in the installation?

Thanks

are they just pretty covers for the hinges

have you tried fitting without them ?

I haven’t but the hinges come with extra screws specifically for the spacers.

have you looked at the old and new hinges. Take an old one off and compare. See if it will fit without spacers and if it wont you will see a gap where the spacer will go

if you need a spacer then something on the new ones must be out of line. also don’t forget manufacturers make kits to cover lots of models and you may not need them on yours
