California Exclusive fridge lid support

[tdi_ywg]

Hello,
The springy bit that is supposed to hold the fridge lid open has stopped doing that. Still feels springy though. Anyone have a fix?
Thanks!

Mine is the same, I looked into fixing it but to get behind it I think you would have to remove the toilet etc. In the end I glued a magnet to the side of the fridge lid. Something like this:

It isn't strong enough to hold it magnetically but it provides enough of a lip to catch on the springy bit. So basically any small bit of metal would do.

I think it’s a rare flaw in Westy design. I agree it’s not fixable without getting at it from the other side, which is a huge job. A ‘prop’ might work. I used to hold the lid up with my forehead!
