Framed. But see how the hinge is posted to the cabinet.
Is there a name on the hinge?

Hafele . Don't see a part number though. Kitchen was purchased through Home Depot but don't think that will help with this.

This may be it. Generally this hinge is a 165 degree hinge. Many options can work, you want to make sure the overlay is correct as well as the screw locations and boring depth…
You can technically go with any company as long as you match up the specs correctly.

All hinges on the door should be changed as old and new hinge may open at a slightly different angle, this will cause extra stress on the hinge and door and cause it to break again.

If you remove the existing hinge there is probably some etchings on the inside, the model number is somewhere there.

ETA: search google for “Hafele 315.02.500” you can purchase at other websites, link I posted was just first google result.

You can also bring the hinge with you to HomeDepot. They usually have several different ones in stock.
ETA: You could also try and match on their site: https://www.hafele.com/INTERSHOP/web/WFS/Haefele-HAC-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewParametricSearch-SimpleOfferSearch?SearchTerm=%22Concealed+Hinge%22

Thanks for this. Lemme see if I can find item number on it or if the company can assist. Otherwise it can be a challenge firstly, discovering the existing specs and then trying to find that match with so many on the market.

Is the other hinge which connects both doors a 135 degree generally? see photo

This is called a pie cut corner hinge. From the picture is seems to be this hinge

Really cool tool.

Ever use or see this tool?

Nice. The part I like is it protects the wires.

Any suggestions what can hold the plastic in place?

The plastic lining around the frame of my fridge door is being dislodged at the bottom, any suggestions what I can use to keep it from coming off?

Glue? What kind?

The gasket can be replaced.  I'd guess not cheap, but not hard.  And it might save on running the fridge because no air hot would be leaking in.

YouTube to the rescue. I would have tightened the plastic nut which would have resulted in major job.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but...my freezer is not connected to a water line, but every once in a while, the ice maker makes ice. Like - a LOT of ice, as in enough to fill half my sink.

Frigidaire Model FGFU19F6QF.

Is the water coming from excess moisture in the freezer (in which case maybe it's a good thing it's making the ice cubes, so I can easily remove)?

Any other ideas?

Thanks - definitely interesting and amusing, the more so because some of the ice cubes are is colored - but since we don't have anyh incoming water, we're obviously not changing the filter...

Is the ice maker set to on or the off position?
There should be a valve in the back where the water can come in, is it closed?

I know your saying it's not connected to a water line but for some reason it seems like an issue of the ice not working properly. I don't understand how it would get the water any other way

There's a lever inside the fridge where I can turn off the ice maker, but I just can't figure out how it's happening. It's definitely not getting any water from outside.
