Why fridge rear rollers break and what it causes

The rear rollers carry much of the fridge's weight at the back and let you roll it out for cleaning or to reach the power point. Each time a loaded fridge is dragged across tiles or over a lip in the floor, the roller and its axle take the strain. A cracked or seized roller makes the fridge hard to move, scratches or gouges the floor, and can leave the cabinet sitting unevenly. An uneven fridge may stop the doors closing properly, which leads to frost and condensation.

Changing a rear roller

Unplug the fridge and take the heaviest items out of the door shelves. With a helper, raise the back of the fridge on a sturdy block so the rear corner is clear of the floor, and never reach under a cabinet that isn't supported. Unclip or unscrew the old roller and fit the new one. Lower the fridge and check it sits level with the doors swinging closed on their own.

Questions about this part

Do I need one roller or two?

Check both rear rollers while the fridge is raised. If one has broken, the other has been carrying extra load and may be worn too, so many people replace them as a pair to keep the fridge level.
