Possible Causes

Worn lid hinges, Failed lid support struts (if equipped), Loose hinge screws, Bent hinge brackets

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the freezer and support the lid securely before working on hinges. A falling lid can cause injury.

  • Inspect hinges: Check the lid hinges for wear, cracks, or bending. Tighten any loose screws.
  • Check lid supports: If your Galanz chest freezer has lid support struts, test them by opening the lid; they should hold it up. If they collapse, replace the lid support struts.
  • Replace worn parts: Install new Galanz lid hinges or supports as needed. Follow the original mounting positions.
  • Test operation: Open and close the lid several times to ensure it stays open at a safe angle and closes smoothly.
