I have a kenmore top mount refrigerator that got warped by dolly during moving. What I mean is that the inside back wall of fridge is bowed now and the shelves won’t sit straight. There is a big gap between them that goes away if you put pressure on the inside back wall of fridge and push it back in place flat against the back instead of bowed. I would like to put some screws down the middle of the back by where the shelf supports are already screwed in to make it flush against the back again. What might I hit if I do that?
Its really risky drilling a hole almost everywhere on a fridge. So many things to hit. Freon lines, electrical wiring, and the drain line are all in there.
Are talking about drilling all the way through to the outside?
I was thinking of drilling a hole all the way through to be able to get the back panel tighter to the back wall instead of being warped or bowed out. Maybe drilling a couple of holes just through the “skin” and trying to get some super glue behind it to adhere to the back wall? I am at a loss as to how to get the back panel not to be bowed out so the shelves sit properly. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.
If I were going to drill through a refrig. I would set up a stop on my drill bit so it couldn’t drill any deeper than 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch.
Then I would use a wooden or plastic rod to probe through the insulation to the back wall. Once I was sure the way was clear I’d drill the other side.
Have you thought about bracing it from the inside using existing screw holes?
Excellent suggestions. Could you explain a little bit about bracing from the inside using existing screw holes? Sorry I am new to this fix it yourself stuff due to a divorce. I appreciate the help.
