RCA chest freezer lid will not stay open or slams shut unexpectedly.

Safety first: Support the lid securely while working to prevent it from falling on your hands or head.

Steps to repair lid support:

• 1. Inspect hinges: Open the lid and check the hinge brackets for bending or loose screws. Tighten any loose hardware.
• 2. Check support struts: Some RCA chest freezers use gas or spring struts to hold the lid open. If they no longer support the lid, replace them with RCA-compatible parts.
• 3. Replace hinges if worn: If the hinges are loose or deformed, remove and replace them. Support the lid with a prop or helper while swapping hinges.
• 4. Test operation: Open and close the lid several times to ensure it stays open at the intended angle and closes smoothly.

Warning: A falling lid can cause injury; repair faulty supports promptly.
