Hello, For a GLOBE TOP; Did you know a place where it would be possible to buy rubber parts to enter the gates ? And is it possible to buy the 3 new grids of the fridge? Thanks for your returns, and have a good evening.    |

As far as the rubber is concerned I really don't know where you could find anything like that. Possibly a hardware store. The racks that you have would be hard to find replacements for. Is there something wrong with them?

You're going to have to have your existing shelves refurbished.

I don't remember if the rubber grommets are open or closed in the center on these when new. If open any rubber grommet the right size should work. I was able to find closed ones by shopping for rubber stoppers for salt and pepper shakers. Not sure if it is easy to find them in black as I was looking for white at the time.

That looks like it might work. I hope those little rubber pieces fit for you.
I would say that polishing your old racks would be your best bet. You would be surprised how much you can improve them.

Agreed. I polished the rack on my mini fridge starting with a wire wheel, then progressively finer sand paper and finished with OOOO steel wool. It took some time, and although not perfrect, I am happy with the results. drive.google.com/open?id=0B1TLsWim04glZGdDelFVTVljQzA |

Hi, No shop can sell rubber grommets, i can some in FRANCE, and no one have this part. So with a friend we try to print them in 3D. Here is the first grommets (the size is not the good one) but its just for a test. So we have a solution ...  |

Nice! Those do look good. Glad you were able to come up with a solution.

The only idea that I had on making a replacement was to glue a vacuum cap to a rubber grommet. I like the printed part better.

I found the rubber grommits at Ace.
I gently used a screwdriver to get them in,and do they look good!if this helps.. the UPC is 3900843502.
As far as the racks go, I cut down an old bbq rack... Fits perfect!!

I think I would try cleaning up the racks or getting them replated . Good idea with the ace hardware grommets.

Another member did find a company that’s willing to make shelves.
You must provide good measurements and be clear to them the pattern of the wire. It’s very difficult to find shelves for a balltop. I’ve almost never seen one with all three and only one is a very common sight.
