Here is a good hack. [View all]

My black Kenmore Refrigerator, purchased in 2000 is losing the magnetic hold force on the freezer door, When I shut the refrig door now, the freezer door opens, but just barely. I had a fresh roll of black ducktape. Secure, but keep 1/2 to 1" covered on the adhesive side, Makes opening a breeze, minimal visual disruption.
