We have a Kenmore fridge we love, made by Daewoo. It's functional and extremely reliable. Far better than the Samsung we had at our last place.

But we can't get replacement bins for it, and the bins inevitably crack over time. I don't particularly blame Kenmore or Daewoo for that, though I'm sure there are ways the bins could have been made more durable.

It feels as if the only way to fix this is to get a whole new fridge! But we don't want to.

Superglue for now.

That seems reasonable. Maybe you could even add extra traces of superglue to make it symmetrical and look nice :)
I'm sure there's also some complicated 3D-printing method to replace these, out of smaller printed parts.

@golemwire I like the idea but lack the know-how to properly measure and model it.

That's fair, same here.
