Duct tape is king. Or is it duck tape? Oh yeah! In this application it would be duck sauce tape! There!
At first I thought it was attached to the door in the back..
Uhmm.. looks perfectly normal to me. I probably see that at least once a week.
Anything with duct tape looks more than fine to me, couldn’t find a better cheaper material if you tried!
I fixed my fridge too, but also used pop rivets http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f245/oshawalogo/various/P1060321Large.jpg
I think this is the same fridge we have… and it really needs duct tape! Maybe I should fix mine. LOL!
You know that…that tape and those shelves will hold for years now! (no matter how jammed full they are)
Absolute Awesomeness!
Your not getting those out!
@Lam
Unless he’s double layered the duct tape sticky side to sticky side and just stuck it either end
Yet again – if it moves, and it shouldn’t… Duct Tape!
Don’t leave home with out it.
Handyman’s secret weapon strikes again.
Although the beautiful people will laugh and sneer, there isn’t anything wrong with this. If all that is wrong with the fridge is that the flimsy little shelf bars have broken, why go out and buy another appliance or even overpriced replacement parts?
I mean, how much time do you spend looking at your condiments anyway?
Affording beer is a higher priority than replacing the fridge, it appears.
I admire their confidence on their repair. It is not like they gingerly put one or two items, they just cram more stuff than they could ever fit in the original shelving.
@QuickFix
Keystone Light (the beer in the pic) is literally cheaper than water, so not quite.
Hey, when you rent, and the landlord won’t fix it.
Actually, my fridge happens to have a loose bar keeping items on the shelf that falls down with the slightest touch, too. Perhaps duct tape is the answer I’ve been looking for…
@Amilianna
Or the planet. Google “NASA duct tape” to read about some potentially life saving extraplanetary applications of duct tape. Truly amazing!
“Oh, the tape’s not going to stick anymore, I’m afraid.” – Astronaut Eugene Cernan (Apollo 17) …Duct tape is as essential to space travel as oxygen
Anyone surprised a genius like this drinks Keystone Light?
Moo.
duct tape n’ beer. all one needs to be a redneck
I am proud to say I did the same thing in my fridge two years ago when the protective plastic thingy broke. And the duct tape is still there, doing is job
YAY FOR DUCT TAPE !
I see something wrong with the picture… needs mor beer
Sad thing is my fridge was held together in a very similar fashion…
As if the Keystone Light didn’t give it away, this has white trash written all over it.
I like the way he doesn’t trust the beer to the duct tape.
My fridge looks almost the same. only one shelf duct taped though.
I fixed my fridge too, been debating on sending in a pic. I used bungee cords though as the wife has a tendency to over pack the shelves. That’s how it broke in the first place.
@Ed Venture
Bungee cords in the fridge? By all means send it!
It’s so obvious. That stuff on the shelves is totally ‘shopped.
I just had to say that when i moved into my apartment there was ducttape on the fridge shelf too. It’s white, tho, so i didn’t even notice at first. It’s also in the hall, the bathroom, the bedroom, and the closet.
you won’t find this in martha stewart living.
@dono1
Yeah, grocery shopped!
So not photoshopped. Too realistic… notice the pancake syrup is upside down (true sign of cheapness – gotta get that last drop o’ that $1.39 gold!!)
And who the f**k drinks keystone light?
@Powermuffin
Good question!!
I shouldn’t even be allowed to HAVE a door with shelves; everything I put there, I forget about. Someday, the crap in there’s going to grow green fuzzy legs and crawl off with the door.
@KelliKat
WTH?
White duct tape? And “It’s also in the hall, the bathroom, the bedroom, and the closet.”
Are you sure this is an APARTMENT? Sounds like someone rented you a hospital supply cabinet!
Daniel…I second this. By all means Ed, please send.
Oh, and btw…long time-lurker, first post. I like it rough.
Broke college guys drink Keystone Light. I dated several when I was in my twenties. One made a gasket for his dirt bike out of an empty Keystone Light box, in fact. I’d love to take a look in that freezer.
@Oshawa
3 bottles of ketchup??? no wonder the shelves gave up the ghost!
Am I the only one grossed out by the fact that the beer is sitting next to the milk?
If this is what the fridge looks like I wonder how the freezer shelves are holding up.
Paddy, dono – nice team work guys.
I’m sure they’re Ben & Jerry-rigged.
@hosebunny
Ok, due to popular demand I sent 2 pictures of my bungee fridge fix to the site e-mail last night.
A friend on mine rented a house, and the *landlord* had removed all of the metal bars from the fridge doors. Didn’t approve of “new-fangled nonsense”. They used bungee cords, and that worked fine. As someone else remarked, unless the duct tape is back-to-back, that stuff is in there for ever.
Look, don’t knock it. My dad kept a roof over the heads of a family of overachievers (1 doctor, 2 lawyers, 1 novelist, and a famous musician)with nothing more in his tool box than a ballpeen hammer, a butter knife and a never ending roll of industrial grey duct tape.
Oh boy! Now I know how to ‘fix’ MY broken shelves – no, really! Thanks to my son who doesn’t know his own strength. Ooh, I can even use bungee cords, too? Variety is the spice of life, LOL.
Are you Steve Marriott?
Aside from the cheap beer, it looks like my fridge. Side by side fridges suck.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who uses duct tape for the fridge shelves, tho I didn’t use nearly as much as that sh*t is really strong
Is this McGyver’s frig? lol
LMAO…This one made me laugh out loud. Not only because of the ingenious fix but because my parents had that exact same refrigerator and those got damn shelves would fall out at the slightest touch. Sometimes they’d fall out just from opening the door too quickly. And after MANY broken bottles and messes on the floor from everything crashing down to the floor they just replaced the fridge. I am sending this on to them and letting them know that they could have saved a bundle. It was actually a $3.00 fix! BWAHAHAHAHAHA
OMG! I so did that in my old freezer. duct tape and cardboard. lasted till we moved!
Keystone Light… Fitting for that Fridge.
Bring on the Duct Tape!!!! I love it!!
And I thought my bungee cords on the door were white trash…
For 23 years, our fridge has run FINE. I would rather keep the old beast and listen to it hum and tick, adjust the doors every other month so they don’t drag or pop looser, and tape whatever needs taping. A new fridge in the same size is $700+. A used one with its capacity and features is usually $200 *IF* it runs. You do what you gotta do.
Hey, if it works…
Don’t argue with the dukt tape.
where to put my next 30 of keystone, hmmmm..*takes out huge roll of duct tape and flattened keystone cans*
lol i did something similar to my fridge!!
shiny
My Family has the same model fridge (now an outside fridge). We had problems with the shelf too, just not this bad.
Notice the Keystone light in the door and the Coffemate.
Keystone light is typically cheap beer, coffemate is typically top shelf creamer. Beer is for the man, creamer is for the woman. Odd that the woman gets the top shelf brand. I guess its because she sacrifices so much, i.e. the duct tape
HA! I had this piece of crap fridge too! I wish my parents agreed with me back when I suggested duct tape. Instead we just continued to try and live with the constant fear that the next time we open the fridge door, any number of jars and bottles will come flying off the door to attack our poor feet.
Course it looks fine it’s got beer!
If you cant fix it with duct tape then you just haven’t used enough.
I received this photo along with a lot of other “redneck solutions” but this one made me pause. I thought, “golly—that would work!” And it did! I went to Wal-Mart bought some white duct tape and taped the shelf back into the door. I ran the white duct tape completely across the shelf (as in the photo), but using white, the repair is almost invisible unless you know what you’re looking for. My husband laughed when I did it, but he has commented several times how great it is to have the use of that shelf again. It’s held for many months now.
