"You know how many hours it took for my agent to calibrate turning the compressor on and off remotely until the door fell off?"

I was at Best Buy the other month, and they had a fridge on sale for $11,000.

That’s because you’re using painter’s tape which has weaker adhesive. Wrap it in Gorilla tape and it should hold.

This happened to our fridge! The hinge pin at the bottom of the door was mounted in I-shit-you-not Styrofoam.

Tape is good for all things youtu.be/wQOMBl9EPDs?...

The same poltergeist attacked my range

Does it run PHP? Maybe someone hacked it off.

looks to me like the little collar around the top hinge pin eventually wears out and then it just falls off. i think the replacement parts are for the entire top door hinge mechanism www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2009...

poor guy can’t catch a break jeez

Guys this isn’t funny, fridges only do that when they are stressed out or scared. (🤪)

Duct tape is not actually structural. You'd want fiberglass reinforced strapping tape for that!

I didn't know that was a thing fridge doors could do

Never trust AI hallucination.. Does weird things.. But SI is a different story. SI can fix fridge doors better than CrazyGlue! 😆

This happened to our previous fridge, luckily our fridges in Europe are typically not as big as American fridges.

Enshitification strikes again

Posting this... because... well y'know. youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM?...

the fuq tho??

That's crazy! My MIL has the dual side by side freezer and fridge of this model and for the price, the door definitely shouldn't fall off!

something something '4' joke

There’s a proper tool for every job, and it’s usually blue tape.

ty ty it’s a little “2000s tuscan” for my vibes but one project at a time

We've had two mini-split thermostats blue taped to the wall for two years. No doubt you'll get used to this situation. 👍

What sort of standards are these fridges built to? Very rigorous ... engineering standards. Well the doors not supposed to fall off, for a start. There are regulations governing the materials they can be made of. What materials? Well, Cardboard’s out. No paper, no string, no cellotape.

It's a good thing ut didn't hit your foot. It's a bitch trying to stay off a foot to heal if your job requires you to be on your feet!

i dropped an old macbook pro edge side down on the top of my foot once and that only weighed a few pounds. i can confirm you really dodged a bullet

Totally unhinged.

literally never heard of this happening therefore by bayes’ theorem the probability that this occurred is quite small therefore you can take the tape off, it’s probably not broken
