Refrigerator Accessories
How to choose refrigerator accessories
Material and load
Match material to load. Plastic/metal suits a light shelf edge, while stainless steel bears a heavy door hinge.
Colour match
Pick a colour. White or clear hides the fix, but blue or brown may suit a specific finish.
Sub-type fit
Know your sub-type. Kitchen Appliance Accessories cover shelves and hinges, Home & Garden covers vehicle locks.
Flexibility
Choose flex or rigid. Silicone and rubber absorb knocks, whereas copper or metal stay rigid.
Part shape
Confirm the part shape. An upper door shelf will not slot into a rear shelf edge bracket.
What's good
- Plastic or metal shelf edges fix a broken rack without needing a new fridge.
- Silicone or rubber freshness mats from the Kitchen & Dining range lift food off the base and wipe clean fast.
- Metal/rubber door locks in the Home & Garden sub-type hold firm in a moving caravan or motorhome.
- Clear or white parts blend into most interiors, so the repair stays hidden from view.
Things to watch
- Plastic retainers weigh little but mark easier than stainless steel or metal versions.
- Lead or copper pieces serve a need yet feel heavy next to a silicone or plastic alternative.
- Home & Garden locks fit vehicles, so they will not mount on a standard kitchen fridge hinge.
- Green or yellow accessories add a bright note, which clashes with a silver or grey unit for some.
Care & maintenance
Wash soft mats
Hand wash silicone and rubber mats in warm water to stop smells building up.
Check hinges
Tighten metal/plastic hinges every few months, as daily door pulls loosen the fixings.
Dry metal
Wipe stainless steel or silver shelves dry after cleaning to prevent streaks.
Inspect caravan locks
Check metal/rubber catches in caravans for cracking before each trip away.
