Why won't my hinged cupboard door stay closed?

Depends on type of hinge, If it swings back open after you closed it then either the cupboard is not level (old style hinge)...
Or the spring inside hinge is bad/broken and not holding it closed. If the door opens back just a bit (1/2 inch or so) see if hinge has adjustable screws.

Broken hinge

Not that I know of. They are easy to replace, check out these WEB sites.
Replacing a hinge, or both of them, isn't very tough.

Door open warning

Yes, the doorjam switch is either shorted or broken. This switch is on the cabin door opening by the hinges. In rare cases the pin may be self adjusting. Sometimes you can press in the pin by hand to see if it shuts off the interior light. Do not slam the door with your finger in the hinge area.

There may be a problem with the door adjustment or the hinge may be broken and you do not know it. It can be a lose or broken wire inside the cabin shell.

Left hinge is broken on HP officejet 6210

Let me know if you find a source for replacements. In the mean time, I kept my unit working by just removing the broken top half of the hinge.
You have to remove 5 screws using a TORX T10 screwdriver. First remove the small plate covering the back of hinge on the outside. Then remove the two vertical screws at the top of the hinge up under the hinge lip. Then open the cover (be careful to hold it in place so as not to damage the three flex connections between the lid and body) and remove the other two screws at the top of the hinge. Remove the broken top half of the hinge and lower the cover back down. Until you find a replacement hinge, you can put a piece of heavy duty tape on the back where the hinge was.

Bottom hinge on fridge door broken

Yes, there is supposed to be a plastic bushing/washer under there. Usually 1/8 inch thick. If a dealer is not handy you may cut some out of plastic to put there. Then undo the top hinge, and carefully lift the door off (you might want to empty the shelfs). Put your spacer on the hinge pin, and replace the door and the top hinge.
