Fixing a fridge door hooks and replacing the trays.

dekaspace1

Had my current fridge about 6 years now, lovely fridge but since day 1 the bottle tray only really works for big milk bottles, or things like cans of drink, anything else topples over and in past few years out of about 6 bays to hook onto 4 are broken, I have the pieces and if I glue them back into place and put light things on its fine but bottles are too heavy for them and it the glued on pieces just come off.  I was thinking of putting something like a nut and bolt on (and painting it white) but don't want to screw it up.

On top of that I would need bigger trays, the current ones are now cracked after last night a bottle toppled over and the force broke the 2 trays below it which are glued together but won't hold bottles anymore (maybe 1 if I put it sideways so the weight is distributed) but even before this current problem the main issued seemed to be the trays were not deep enough hence each time I opened door or closed it, unless it was very gentle (and even then bottles sometimes fell out) everything just fell out.

I see you can buy replacement bottle trays online but they don't show how deep they are.

Ask the seller?

For everything else post a photo if you really want some advice.

Yeah, I can do that, its the tabs at side that the tray locks onto, pretty standard.

Also forgot to ask some advice, my fridge is right against a wall, it worked great for years but in past few months its not cooling as well and theres a scratchy like sound when the compressor is running, not sure if thats because its too close to wall and just move forward an inch, or it needs cleaned, also related is the back of the fridge gets iced up easily unless I turn it down very low so makes me think theres a blockage.
