t Creek With Fridge Door Hinge (broken bolt)
I have the LG LBC22518WW, a refrigerator with the freezer at the bottom. The upper door (refrigerator compartment) was sagging, so I adjusted the door position and tightened the 3 bolts at the upper hinge, and in the process, broke one of the bolts! And then -- here's where I really screwed myself -- I tried to extract the broken bolt by drilling a hole then screwing in a screw-extractor, but the extractor-tip broke off too!!! Now I can't even drill out the broken bolt. Is there a way to replace the whole insider hinge assembly? (i.e., the part that receives the bolts). Wife says switching the hinge to the opposite side is not acceptable. The fridge is 2 years old and therefore out of warranty.

Put 2 lock washers under the remaining 2 screws and dont over tighten.
This should hold the door fine just do not over load the door.
Go to the hardware store and get 2 new hardened screws if you think you damaged the remaining 2 screws.
If they dont have any that will fit try an auto parts store.
