ᐅ Ikea Faktum wall cabinet horizontal hinge does not stay open at the top

Hello dear IKEA fans!

I bought two Ikea Faktum wall cabinets to be mounted horizontally and I have a problem with them! The hinges do not stay open at the top when I open the doors. Can anyone help me?

Best regards

This is quite a difficult issue for a remote diagnosis! 😉

Unfortunately, I have no idea either. Ikea should have a 24-hour home service in case there are any problems with the furniture!!! 😀

Is there a solution for this problem now? Or can someone else help me? Unfortunately, I have the same issue…

Thanks

Marcel

Hello,
since I recently became the owner of a FAKTUM kitchen, I encountered the same problem with the vertical wall cabinets: the hinges would not stay in the upper position once the door panel was attached.

Solution:

At the lower end of the hinge, there is a narrow slot with a " " symbol embossed above it. Above this slot, there are three vertical slots where an adjustment screw is visible. Above that is a "-" symbol. In the narrow slot, there is a hole where a screw seems to be visible. However, it is not a screw but rather a gear wheel.

As shown in the included manual, you need to insert a suitable Phillips screwdriver into this narrow horizontal slot (below the embossed " ") and into the hole. Then simply turn the screwdriver clockwise (to the right) while observing the movement of the adjustment screw. Adjust both hinges equally.

Have fun.
