florence kat Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Can anyone tell me how to fit the door back onto the freezer part of this Indesit BAAN10? It sprang off while I was trying to pull out one of the drawers. I've tried the online manual, whose diagrams do not assist me at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 It is probably one of those systems that can open either way depending on where you attach it. This means there will be a metal hinge that can be removed and replaced to the other side. Is this metal hinge in place - ie. in the fridge? Or is it attached to the door? If it is on the door it is likely that you damaged the connection with the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florence kat Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 There is a metal plate attached to the main body of the fridge/freezer where the bottom of the freezer door will go. It has a little metal "peg" sticking UP. Where the top of the door will go, there is a corresponding "peg", again attached to the main body of the fridge/freezer, pointing DOWNwards. What do you have to do to get the door fitted on between these two "pegs". Yes, this is one of the systems whereby you can open the door either way, but that is not the problem. Thanks for your interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechpete Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think the model in this video is an indesit. if your problem is fitting it between the pegs, I guess you can unscrew the foot at that side, slide the door back in, then screw the foot back in.

florence kat Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Mission accomplished! With your various suggestions (and thought support, no doubt) we did the job by removing the bottom "foot", removing metal plate, fitting the door in between the two pegs, replacing the metal plate and screwing the foot back on. Fiddley, but it worked. At the end of all this we found on the floor a tiny piece of plastic which I suspect got chipped off in the accident. However, the loss of same does not seem to have affected adversely the working of the door. Thank you tzijlstra, watchcoll and biotechpete for your ideas. All done for now.
