If you could let me know what your questions are I would be glad to assist you. Is this the part you have questions about? ( Samsung DA97-12683A Refrigerator French Door With Mullion Heater Assembly | Genuine OEM Part )

Jeffrey, I asked about a way to do the repair by removing the 2 screws from the center hinge to see if i could separate the vertical piece far enough from the door to be able to reattach the top 2 pieces and maybe glue them back in place…could that possibly work ??
Thanks,

Jeffrey, I have tried repeatedly to attach a photo with no success. I asked you a question about removing the screws from the center hinge and trying to replace and possibly glue the 2 pieces to put the top hinge back in working order. If the photo does not attach this time, please send me a good e-mail address to send it to you. I tried several times to reach a human this morning with no luck.
you have all my contact information and a description of what I am trying to ask you to help me with…

Yeah at this point I would say either look on third party sites for the replacement part or try your method

Jeff,
Thank you for your reply. I have checked around and have not found third party replacement parts.
I wiii try my method this afternoon and see how it will work. I will let you know.
