With a little more hardener it actually seems to work well. I had an old
Hitachi fridge with a glued on rear shelf stop for years. Admittedly it was
not really load bearing, but it never fell off.
I think I used something called araldite rapid.

araldited on with a couple of wood screws into the insulation to hold
while it sets.

But will it set with the fridge operating? Am I going to have to switch
it off with all the hassle that will arrive with that from the kitchen
operative?

I suspect it may just delay a new fridge purchase.

The curing of proper araldite is accelerated to an hour or so from 24 by
going from room temperature to around 100C

I would imagine that putting it in a fridge would be disasterous to the
curing time. Possibly allowing the adhesive to flow out of the joint
before it cures.

You may need to look at a different adhesive with a chemical accelerator
or put your foot down with the kitchen executive.
