Bosch has both models, with sliding door arrangement and with the solid doors.
Other brands may have both options too. Hope it's an easy repair. CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK |

True, but there is an AEG with A+++ and sliding door for 399€, but if we need to get a sliding door one, it will most certanly be the IKEA model, simply because its cheap and has a good warranty. Writing this in my car infront of our house, just arrived, give me 2 or so hours and I'll know more... |

I was just about to write to you about it almost certainly being a nylon clip. Glad you found it. I used to translate instruction manuals for some companies, including B/S/H in Gingen. You'd be amazed for how many different companies they make refrigerators - in those days even Miele. And there's your answer - each brand has a different 'positioning' in the market. I have relations who love the price point of Gorenje, others who would never consider anything but Gaggenau. Still find it a bit weird that the Grundig name is on home appliances, but I imagine their Turkish masters chose the name well. Some irony there, really.
Useful space and empty volume are like apples and oranges, I've often thought it gave manufacturers wiggle room to improve their efficiency ratings. Given the enormously high cost of electricity in Germany, the difference between A and A+++ over the life of a refrigerator is tremendous.
Hope you took pictures. I miss those sliding rails on the cupboard doors of built in freezers and refrigerators something awful. Not.
Oh - BOSCH Küchenstudio and Miele both have lots of these hinges in their local inventories. At least, they did in 2013, the last time I had to deal with one of these clips. Glad you were able to solve it.
