Fridge door plastic liner has 2 little moulded in rectangular blocks that support the milk shelf. One has sheared off, leaving a flat surface with foam exposed. The plastic is very thin, I'm surprised it didn't snap off the first time it was loaded. What if anything could I do about it?


Fridges, all of them afaict have rubbish inside fittings made of the
cheapest plastics which in my experience break and make the fridge
useless long before the thing stops working. I have in the past tried to
mend the clear and the white plastics with other bits of plastic and
solvents and adhesives without much success.

Pieces of wood, screws and PVA is my best advice.

but what to screw it to? There's nothing that would have anything like enough strength to rely on a screw fixing or 2.
