Please Help!

The bottom door hinge on our under-worktop integrated fridge was snapped by an over-zealous throwing open of the door by my fragile wee mother in law...... hidden strengths indeed. The top hinge is groaning and the door can only be opened with much caution, as it weighs a ton even when all the door bits are empty. I'm afraid it'll snap suddenly and come crashing down on our toes.

Where on earth will I find replacements??? Are all fridge door hinges the same? I've trawled the net for hours and am no wiser, but hopefully someone here will be able to help me.

Ta very much

Depends on how old it is.

If it was bought before 28/11/96 then the part number for the bottom hinge is 246000100 (top hinge 246000200).

If it was bought on or after 29/11/96 then the bottom right / top left hinge is 246009700 and the top right / bottom left hinge is 246009800.

There's nothing special about these hinges and generic ones should fit. Many engineers carry a set or two of general purpose hinges which should fit this.
