• Just to reiterate, the hinge lug for the freezer flap has a small catch underneath the lug which just needs to be levered out a couple of millimetres or so then the whole lug can be pulled forwards very easily. Don't try the hot water method. I experimented with the old damaged flap by pouring boiling water over it to make it more flexible. It does NOT work. By RC - Ludlow - 18 October 2019
• Bit dubious about putting hot water on something going into sub-zero temperature so tried the blunt knife method. The front section of the shelf bracket comes out of the back section that supports the shelf and pulls right off. Do it slowly and ignore the screaming alarm if you can! It was refixed in a couple of minutes, and I am not good a DIY! By JANE - Brockenhurst - 14 July 2018
• The hinge piece (Stock Number: ES1689146) has a plastic lug (not really a catch) near the front that fits into the lining. It was a really easy task to put a blunt knife near the front and gently lever it away from the lining and pull it forwards. Easy Peasy - less than one minute to add the new flap.

  The hinge piece Stock Number: ES1689146 has a catch that prevent this being removed. use a blunt knife to gently lever this area away from the lining and slide off before hooking the flap on and sliding back in position.
