Dometic rm2804 door hinges are worn and plastic strip retainer is broken off. On the lower door the hinge pins fit into round metal guides. In turn, the metal guides are held in place on the door corners by decorative plastic strips which run the widt of the door at the top and bottom. On this door, both of these strips are cracked and broken in the corner of the hinge pin area. Also, the small round plastic bushings, flat on one end, which fit around the hinge pins are worn and broken.

It sounds like the part that has failed is part of the fridge case. The only way to fix that would be to put a thin piece of metal over the top of it and fix it with pop rivets. Then fit the hinge to it.

Check the top and bottom of your fridge door at the furthest edge from the hinge. Do you see a plastic plug/insert, usually round that looks like they can be levered out with a thin blade? These cover holes that a hinge pin can be inserted into. At the hinge side (top and bottom in the same position as the aforementioned plug/insert) is where the hinge is attached to the door. If you remove the hinges from the fridge they should then come away from the door and you can swap them over to the other side and replace the plug/insert in the holes left where the hinge pins were originally fitted. The door should then be fitted to the other side of the fridge in holes similarly covered by a cap that you put in the holes left where the hinge was fixed.
I hope that makes sense, because I've just read it and confused myself I think.. ;)

I may need a picture to determine what is wrong. there is a screw-in pin that has a flat head top that you screw in. If that is in place, but the little cam itself (it's chrome with a black plastic center) is getting past the pin, then you have other problems. Either the 2 white plastic door closer cams on the bottom hinge are broken/worn/missing, or the lower hinge is sagging where it attaches to the cabinet of the unit and that needs to be replaced. These things can allow that cam to pass the 90 degree stop pin even when it is in place. you can look at a diagram of the hinge at http://www.greatplainsapplianceparts.com/order/subzeroparts.asp? (the question mark should be part of that link, but it won't take it so you may have to add it in the browser after you click the link). Let me know if this doesn't solve your issue!

You have to order the part from a dealer. The issue might not be the sleeve though if you check the bushings at the hinges, they are probably worn. You can get door hinge bushings from an autoparts store. Then you drive out the hinge pins and bushings and put in new ones. What happens is over time, the bushings where and then the weight of the door causes the latch to strick the retaining anchor.

ADJUSTMENTSee Figure 4 The holes for the hinges are oversized to provide for latitude in alignment. Align the door hinges first, then the striker.
C/K series utilize hinges that are welded to the door and frame. No adjustment is possible except when replacement hinges have been installed.



Fig. 4: Door adjustment check points

1. If a door is being installed, first mount the door and tighten the hinge bolts lightly.
   

If the door has not been removed, determine which hinge bolts must be loosed to effect alignment.

1. Loosen the necessary bolts just enough to allow the door to be moved with a padded prybar.
2. Move the door in small movements and check the fit after each movement.
   

Be sure that there is no binding or interference with adjacent panels.

1. Repeat this procedure until the door is properly aligned.

R/V Series:
Door edge-to-rocker panel: 6mm Door edge-to-roof panel: 5mm Door edge-to-rear pillar: 5mm Door edge-to-front pillar: 2mm
C/K Series:
Door edge-to-rocker panel: 6mm Door edge-to-roof panel: 6mm Door edge-to-rear pillar: 4mm Door edge-to-front pillar: 7mm Door front edge-to-fender: 5mm

1. Tighten all the bolts to 26 ft. lbs. (35 Nm).

Shims may be either fabricated or purchased to install behind the hinges as an aid in alignment.

Hope this help, TY for using Fixya (remember comment and rated this). Good luck.

the hinge is not plastic, only the insert sleeve that goes into the hole atop the door is plastic. If the actual hinge (metal arm) is broke, then you need to order a new part (not difficult if frig is 20 years or less). If you cannot find the part, go to a metal shop and show them the broken part, they usually can repair it or remake a new piece.
If the hole in the door went bad (that is: if the hole tore open and cannot hold the hinge pin) you need to have a metal repair brace added to the door. This will involve the metal shop or a good mechanic that can come to you and do the neccessary repair at the house; otherwise you need to bring the door to the metal shop. macgivor

If you have not replaced the Hinge Pins, and Guides, now would be a good time to do it!!

That part is called a HINGE BUSHING,it's what the pin slides into and keeps the door in line and fits snugly on the hinge pin.
