David, do you know if the hinges on that Frigidaire are made of pot metal? Friends of our family had a cabin with a similar model Frigidaire, and once when we were there the bottom part of the hinge pin section broke/fell off, exposing a small portion of the hinge pin. It might have been fixable with JB Weld, as the door would still swing open and closed fine. This was back in the early '80s, long before the internet sensation, so finding a replacement was next to impossible. |

Well, today I had a few moments to tinker with these before my work assignment starts!
As for the hinges; I am not sure what they're made of. Will look at them next time I have a chance. The squeaking, buzzing compressor was more of a pressing concern for me LOL! :)
So, did it survive?
