Chest freezer lid will not stay open or slams shut unexpectedly.

Safety: Support the lid securely while working to prevent injury.

• Inspect hinges: Check both hinges for cracks, bending, or missing parts.
• Check springs or struts: If fitted, verify that torsion springs or gas struts are intact and provide resistance. Replace if weak or broken.
• Tighten screws: Secure any loose hinge mounting screws on the lid and cabinet.
• Replace hinge assemblies: Install new Teka hinge kits if components are damaged, following the original alignment.

Test: Open the lid fully and confirm it stays open without assistance.
