Dent removal
My whirlpool stainless steel fridge door sustained a nickel sized dent right on the front of the door where it is most visible. Is there a service that can remove the dent? Anyone else ever had this problem? Fridge is 2 years old. I don't know how to post pics.

You probably need to buy a new outer door panel. There are several online websites that sell Whirlpool parts. One is appliancepartspros.com, or you can buy it directly from Whirlpool. I think the panel is too thin to be able to repair a dent.

Often used to remove dents in car doors, but I haven't seen such a device in the stores (but then I haven't been looking for one). |

I learned how to "shrink" metal when working on cars, but the method I used would not work on a refrigerator door. IMHO, I would buy a decorative magnetic sticker and place it over the dent. Even if you were able to find a service to flatten the dent it will be very hard to match the brushed finish.
Hope this helps. |
Oh for goodness sake, just put a magnetic hook above the dent, and hang a dishtowel from the hook. Less work, less expense, much more functional.

If you wanted to try to remove the dent yourself, you can buy the suction tools from Harbor Tools, in Leesburg. Look at some video on U Tube. The comments above are worth considering when it comes to the type of metal and its makeup. If you are going to purchase a new skin, you can count on it being very expensive and then you have to install it. In the end you might want to just put a magnet, sticker or a picture of a grandchild over the damage. May be an appliance repair may have a solution.

Heat the spot with a hair dryer then rub a ice cube in and around the dent might pop it out.
