This is some serious naff, and I know it's happened to you....

That feeling you get when you totally eyeball something and it turns out super perfect so you get super cocky and totally eyeball the next measurement on the next piece you are working with and it's freaking an 1/8th of an inch off and your access panel doesn't close appropriately.

Saved me another $238.17, thanks! Got the fridge moved in, but had to go through the back, and because it is 36" x 34", had to unpack it to get it through the 36" doorways. Only had me (gimped with right arm and wrist at about 50% strength still) and my son, who is strong, and this thing is frackin heavy. Going up the back deck stairs, he lost it and had to set it down. Even though he laid it down gently, it happened to come to rest on the edge of the door and sure as sh!t, it dented the door, right on the corner, which on stainless is super visible. :angry:

So it's good I saved all that, I might end up spending twice as much to buy a new door. I doubt the extended coverage covers damage like that.. of course it had to be the door with the ice/water dispenser, not the easy door with nothing on it. Also it had to be the door that is most visible in the kitchen.. the other side is practically invisible.. go figure...

Anyway, I am sure I tweaked something in my back, but the fridge is in. I told the kid to call some friends and haul the other one out and headed back to work, lol. I am not in the mood to muscle another one out of the house. I will get it quoted for repair and if it isn't horrible I can use it in the garage as a spare.

Your son didn't do it, it came like that. You didn't notice until you had it unpacked and set up in the kitchen.

Amateur.

Yeah, I just couldn't justify saying that.. A $1500 door makes it tempting, but I couldn't look anyone in the face and try to pull that one off.. I will just have to live with it. Got a buddy who does paintless dent work, will see if he can at least minimize the ding.. would be easy if it hadn't been on the edge of the door.

Howard_Casto:
If it's not a scratch but instead a dent then it's usually fairly easy to get out. They make dent pullers for cars that work via suction cups... you can get a kit for 20 bucks at your auto parts store.
