I have a Whirlpool side by side, model GC3SHEXNT03 that had the plastic hook that holds the ice door pivot pin. While we can question why they make it out of plastic given the number of posts I've seen with people having the same fear that I had....Replacing the whole darn door to fix 1 little piece of molded plastic. I found some posts about an Ice Door Repair kit, but wasn't sure if it would fix my issue. Luckily I live about 8 miles from the RepairClinic.com warehouse in Michigan, so I went to talk to them to see. Nothing in the discussion was definative, but the have a 30 day return policy so I bought the kit for $74 (ouch!) and it worked beautifully. I have an ice dispenser once again. I know what some of you may be thinking...I work for them....Nope, I'm a computer techie that HATES paying repairmen!! And I'm posting this in the hopes of saving someone the 2 weeks of Googleing that I did trying to find a solution, short of replacing the door. Here is the link to the kit, I hope it helps somebody out there.... http://www.repairclinic.com/Appliance-Parts?s=t-8201756-%3d%3d should be Item #1164531

the hinge is not plastic, only the insert sleeve that goes into the hole atop the door is plastic. If the actual hinge (metal arm) is broke, then you need to order a new part (not difficult if frig is 20 years or less). If you cannot find the part, go to a metal shop and show them the broken part, they usually can repair it or remake a new piece.
If the hole in the door went bad (that is: if the hole tore open and cannot hold the hinge pin) you need to have a metal repair brace added to the door. This will involve the metal shop or a good mechanic that can come to you and do the neccessary repair at the house; otherwise you need to bring the door to the metal shop. macgivor

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.
