How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Support the lid while working to prevent it from falling.

Steps to repair lid support:

  • 1. Inspect hinges: Check for bent or cracked hinge brackets and loose screws. Tighten or replace as needed.
  • 2. Check lid supports: On models with springs or gas struts, inspect for breakage or loss of tension. Replace with compatible Proline parts.
  • 3. Align lid: Adjust hinge positions slightly to ensure the lid sits square and closes evenly.
