Help with freezer draw handle!!!

camNolliesMUMMY

I've just some how managed to snap the handle off on of my freezer drawers !!! :eek:
Will any type of super glue fix it or will it be a certain type?

I have clear silicon that you use for installing windows which oh got for quick mends its really tough once set which is around n hour? And it's waterproof.

When our last freezer drawers broke we found nothing would work and just had to hook fingies round the bottom

Problem is any glues you use will become brittle with the cold.If you can,you'd be better getting 2 1/4 inch self tapping screws,then drilling a couple holes thru the drawer & screwing the handle back on,then a smear of the silocone over the screw heads to smooth them out.

My mum used some clear tape she got for mending the greenhouse to mend a broken freezer drawer front. Depending on the style of handle would that be viable?

It's a plastic on and the Andre is moulded in the front if that makes sense?

As this thread has now dropped down the Old Style board I've moved it over to the In My Home board to see if you can get more advice.

This happened to me. I called the manufacturer and they sent me a new front to the drawer and it arrived the next day. They did charge me for it but it was very reasonable and obviously works perfectly...I had been "making do " for weeks and it was driving me mad
