Fridge Freezer Hinge Bush

1. Tools needed

All you’ll need are a pair of long-nose pliers and a Phillips screwdriver.

2. Remove shelves

Firstly, remove any items and then the shelves from your door.

3. Remove door

Remove the two screws on the door bracket shown here. Once unscrewed, remove the door of the hinge bush you need to replace. Ask for help if the door is heavy.

3. Remove old hinge bush

Remove the old hinge bush from your door with your long-nose pliers as shown. 

4. Install new hinge bush

For the new hinge bush to fit correctly, line up the notch on the hinge bush with the hole on the fridge door. Then give it a few taps to ensure it’s secured tightly. 

5. Re-attach fridge door

Now re-attach the fridge door. Again, asking for help if the door is heavy.

Re-screw the two screws on the metal bracket.

6. Re-attach shelves

Then, re-attach your shelves and place anything back in the fridge.

That’s it, your new hinge bush is all set to go!
