Title: Broken Door
Post by: zueth on September 14, 2011, 09:27:23 AM
The plastic on the bottom of my door on my DBS was cracking and now broke off.  I have emailed Bradley and have got no reply, I always heard they had good customer service.  Starting to wonder now, I guess I will call them.

Calling them is always best.

Sorry it happen, but they will fix you up.

Mine broke the other day also. Was fine one day and the next, it cracked and fell apart. Once I get my new part I'm gonna look into making a metal one for it.

One of the guys here has done a metal replacement. Someone will point you to it soon I am sure. I can't remember who or where the thread is(memory of a sieve).

I had my second door failure today, just a few weeks after installing a new door  >:(    On a positive note, I did a hinge replacement "on the fly" using 3 metal hinges, pop riveted in place. So now I know the door will actually stay in place!  :)

I've got some summer sausage in there now, it's been about 11 hours and it's only at 125 degrees, gonna be a long night.

I also have had two door hinge failures. The door hinges will never have a suitable durability with the current design. In just a few months, I have had a heating element failure, two hinge failures and I also have an issue with pucks not always advancing. I havent bothered to figure out what is causing the puck advancing issue.
