Default Plastic lugs on kitchen appliances

Any suggestions including:

Stick em back on. This

"UHU Model-Making Glue Allplast" https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000KTBLOA/

works for me, on many plastics. It's a diffusion weld glue aka solvent weld
glue, i.e. dissolves the plastic parts at the join, they mix, and the solvent
evaporates, the parts are now welded together. (The above leaves behind some
gummy bit that holds the solvent in place for longer, AFAIK).

The chance of making lasting repair is about 90%, IME -- let the join dry for 24
hours, though.
