Has anyone else broke the tip off the freezer door?

 

How did you fix it?

I bought a new door. If your fridge is a cf130, same door as my truckrfridge tf 130. Same puny pins. I broke mine a few years ago because I tried tp close it with too much frost buildup.

Part is readily available,  and install is about 1 minute.

Had a similar hinge break on my Norcold three-way. Thinking a fix with Super Glue or similar product.

Where do I find out the model of my fridge?

 

Measuring my door, it seems to match this door.

Well, before I had a chance to attempt a fix of the broken hinge, the other side broke shortly into a week’s trip. I did take a quick look prior to departure, but determined glue would likely not hold and besides, I misplaced the tiny spring. There was no urgency when heading out, since the single functional hinge had enough spring action to hold the freezer door closed. However, once it broke I had a troublesome floppy door to contend with. No bueno! Thankfully, I carry some Velcro strips and was able to rectify the problem temporarily. In fact now that I know the replacement hinges are fairly pricey, I may extend use of this fix for awhile longer. 

Double trouble:

Short ‘hook’ section on each side of right door end:

Back-to-back ‘hook’ and ‘loop’ strap for the door closure:

Mas bueno!
