Bin for refrigerator door?

lkc001

Hello all---I have a 2017 Tab 302S.  My first few trips I was annoyed with the fridge.  Every time I opened the door, whatever was stored in the door would fall out.  I only have one  retainer bar that clips into a molded slot in the door and since there is no "bin" for things to sit in, things can slip right out through the bottom of that retainer bar.   Anyone know what Model this fridge is or any ideas on how to get a bin on the front door?   I have some paperwork from the previous owner, but nothing on the fridge.  I'm always thinking of little hacks that will make things easier and this is such a great place for ideas!  Thanks!

You can buy various sized clear refrigerator bins on Amazon (or your choice of online or local dealers). Measure twice and order.

@lkc001, @Dalehelman has produced a thread on this, with pictures. He took an inexpensive plastic container with matching measurements (to the fridge door bottom shelf) and cut an exact size bin off to fit the door. I have copied his mod. Look through his list of mods and you'll find it.

@dragonsdofly  Where do I find his mods?

@lkc001 I looked it up and found it. Type "3 way frig door hack" in the search box at the upper right hand part of your screen and you will have it.

@dragonsdofly Thanks--found it!  I knew someone would have had to mod this.

I think nomad did a mod for it too. Some container from Walmart, cut off the ends, and it fit perfectly.

@ChanW I'll keep looking--Thanks!

If I remember, it was a plastic bread loaf container...

We used a thin cutting board (super thin pack of 4 from Target) and cut it in half.  Then we folded it in half length-wise.  That is placed on the front door and then we can put soda cans in there behind it.  This allow us to open the door without the cans falling out.  I'll see if I can find a picture to upload.

@Dalehelman Thanks Dale!  I knew you would be one of the people with a clever hack for this

I'm definitely going to have to do one of these hacks because I've searched a gazillion different sizes of bins and wouldn't you know, you can never find one with the dimensions you really need  . . . .. that's why we need all these clever people on this forum
