Where to buy a leg for a refrigerator: from official dealers to AliExpress

A refrigerator leg would seem like a small thing, but without it, the equipment stands unevenly, vibrates when the compressor is running, and the door can open spontaneously. If an original part breaks, gets lost, or cracks during a move, replacing it becomes a necessity rather than a luxury. However, finding a suitable leg is not so easy: in household appliance stores they are rarely kept on display, and the range of universal analogues on the market is huge - from cheap plastic to metal adjustable supports.
