Fridge door swinging open or not holding closed?

The spring lock works with the door hinge to hold the door in position. Its spring tension helps the door settle shut and stops it drifting open. When the spring breaks or weakens, or the body cracks, the door may not close firmly, swing open further than it should, or bounce back after you push it shut. A door left slightly open lets warm air in, which brings frost, condensation and wasted power. Look for broken pieces near the hinge when checking the old part.

Fitting the spring lock

Isolate the fridge at the power point and take everything out of the door shelves. Depending on the design, you may need to lift the door off its hinge to reach the spring lock, so have a helper hold the door. Note exactly how the old one sits before removing it. Fit the new lock the same way, rehang the door and check it closes and holds properly.
