Yesterday I looked at the door of my MES40 and saw something disturbing. It looks like a bottom pin that holds the door onto the cabinet is about to break away from the door. Could someone that owns a MES40 look at their unit and see if theirs is bent also or if the pin is straight? Maybe it's suppose to be at an angle but I'm thinking that's probably not the case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought I'd follow up on what happened after calling customer service at Master Built.

Here's there reply:

Mr. W. Chip,

I’m sorry to see that the door hinge pin is on the verge of breaking.  Thank for forwarding your receipt.  Your new smoker door kit ships tomorrow via UPS or FedEx (order # 344551) and should arrive within approximately 5-7 business days.  Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else.

And here's what they sent me:

When's the last time you saw the inside of your MES and it looked like this?

Masterbuilt customer service is fantastic! I didn't expect a new door!

"No serviceable components Inside; take to a certified MES service provider."   I know this is baloney, but one cannot argue with this Customer Service. What a way to build a reputation. Thanks for sharing. Oh yeah, thumbs up to MES.
 
I'm sorry you may have had a bad experience with customer service. My experiences have been outstanding.

Happy smoking,

WC
