Title: Help please - replace evakool hinges
Post by: Apples69 on October 26, 2013, 03:41:16 PM

Just wandering if anyone has had to replace the hinges on an evakool 60 litre fridge/ freezer.

They are pop riverbed into place and can drill out the top but unsure how the riverts slide back in to be reattached

Any advice would be grateful so I can fix over the weekend otherwise ill ring evakool on Monday

Thanks in advance

Hi Apples69
I had a fridgey Retrofit an old 150l Evakool fridge motor into a 140l Evakool Esky so have seen the insides of the carcus and they use to use what I think are called Split Rivets it looks like an old wooden peg shape and when the rivet is pulled with gun it separates the two legs apart which holds them in place

Hope that helps

Cheers Michael
