Genuine Hotpoint Indesit Freezer Flap Stopper Left C00506171

Genuine Hotpoint Indesit Freezer Flap Stopper Left C00506171

If the flap on the top compartment of your freezer drops open, hangs loose or will not stay shut, the small flap stopper at the hinge may have snapped or worn. This is the genuine left-hand freezer flap stopper, part number C00506171, for selected Hotpoint, Indesit and Whirlpool freezers and fridge freezers. Fitting a new stopper lets the flap open and close properly again and helps keep the cold air in the compartment.

What This Part Does

Many upright freezers have a fold-down flap on the top compartment. The flap is held at each side by a small plastic stopper that acts as the hinge point and stops the flap from swinging too far. If the left stopper breaks, the flap can drop, sit crooked or fall out, letting cold air escape and frost build up.

Common Fault Symptoms

• The freezer flap drops open or hangs down on the left side
• The flap will not stay closed or sits crooked
• The flap has come away from its hinge point
• The plastic stopper is cracked, snapped or missing
• Extra frost is building up in the top compartment

Repair Difficulty

Easy. The stopper clips into place at the left-hand hinge of the freezer flap, so no tools are normally needed. If the compartment is heavily iced, defrost it first so the old stopper comes out cleanly.

Typical Tools Required

• No tools normally required
• Small flat screwdriver to ease out a broken stopper, if needed
