Hi All,
I was putting some shopping away in my fridge & when i went close the top fridge door I noticed a crack. No idea how this happened, Is there a tape i can purchase to put over it? I have just put clear tape for the moment but not sure if thats good for the long term. Any help would be very much appreciated.
best regards
Hi @Kat12355,
The advice I provided @rustyicon in this discussion was successful for them, so I'd suggest you give that a go, too. If you can provide a few images, then I might be able to provide more detailed advice on your situation.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

I apologize about the late response.
Here is a photo of the crack. Id like to know how I can fix this?
I'd like to know how I can fix this crack in the refrigerator please?
Hi @Kat12355,
Thank you for following up.
Seeing that your situation is similar to the original posts, I'd suggest using Selleys 3ml Power Grip All Plastics Glue as they did successfully.
Make sure the area is well cleaned before application to achieve the best results possible.
Let us know how you go.

Mitchell,
tha is for the product reccommendation. All I’ve read via Google so far also indicates we should use something ‘food safe’ so doors from the glue don’t get into fridge contents and be an issue of a health kind. Is th glue reccomended consider ‘food safe’?
tba is for any advice
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @MeSteve. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a fridge.
Food safe is a grading typically only achieved in products designed to come in contact with food. So, you'll find food-safe coatings for items such as chopping boards, but I haven't come across any food-safe glues.
I would suggest popping any unsealed food in the freezer during the glue-curing process, but after that, I don't think you'll find that it smells at all or will affect your food in the fridge.
