Best Glue for repairing Freezer Box 2021

My question is the same as this one below posted 9 years ago. The top clip for one of our freezer box snapped. I do have Loctite PowerFlex SuperGlue with rubber built in so found this tends to work better then normal superglue - but not idea about in freezet temps?
Wondering if anything better has come along inthe last 9 years

  • Any chance of a pic, Londoner? The best repair choice often comes down to the actual parts that need joining.

    A starting point I usually use, tho', is solvent weld. This 'melts' the actual plastic surfaces and allows them to be welded together. Not as strong as the original part, but you then add whatever is best over that repair, after first abrading the surface.

    Nothing works long term, been there done that, they break again after a few days to a few weeks.

    Just bite the bullet and buy new ones from Ebay, there are a lot for sale and your model will share drawers with lots of other models.
  • I think Bris is right.
  • Just an update - so I used the Loctite PowerFlex SuperGlue as I already had 2 bottles of the stuff.
    However because of the way the drawer is designed I was able to pull out the front clear panel somewhat and not just glue in the spot where the plastic clip snapped but almost the entire length of the panel from top to bottom to the main body, so there's about 8 spots of glue along the top 3/4 height of the draw on one side, so it's hopefully going to last longer - sorry I didn't take a photo - now it's been glued it looks no different then a new drawer.
