For spare parts I use espares.co.uk

You will need the model number of your fridge.

Thanks. I know about them. The official Bosch spares website is cheaper. It all boils down to who can get the piddling over-priced bits of plastic to me fastest before I go away on holiday in a few days.
I appreciate your help.

Would you prefer the insert or the whole door to fail though?

I would prefer a sensible design.

Metal on metal doesn't move as well, when dry. It'd last longer though.

Applied. This could be interesting...

Panzer Kaserne?

My front door has metal on metal hinges, it's at least 40 years old, and weighs far more than the fridge's. It doesn't seem to have puny, soft plastic inserts, and it doesn't look like it's going to spontaneously collapse in the near future either.

End of prolonged rant.

EUCOM, AFRICOM,Special Forces Support Group, Medical Treatment Facility, MTF is my guess, rehabilitative hobbies and crafts. Kind of a whole raft of things there, Robinson and Patch Barracks bases nearby

Probably quite the background check coming up, @Andy in Germany .

But you oil the hinges on your front door. Not very hygienic to oil hinges on a fridge. All that dirt it'd attract could put your beer off.

Worse than that it's the 'Goodies', I checked.

Would that include what he has for breakfast, and questioning his Marmite tendencies?

I think there used to be bearings on refrigerator doors back when. Because they were lined with lead, as insulation.

That sorta thing.

Marmite?
Best not to mention it. Might call friends and family, and tell them not to mention it.

Not much air in there, and no beer. No good for the WDC.
