How can I get dents out of a stainless steel refrigerator door?

I inherited a stainless steel fridge that saw many moves before it came to my house. As a result it has dents in both doors. I've tried all the hacks, heat, plunger, and more plunger and heat. But, no luck. Appliance repair shops, no help. Does anyone know a solution? Perhaps an automobile body shop!? My current fridge is working well but I'm afraid it's terminal. It moans and grones in its death throws. Can the outer side of the doors be removed to straighten them and then put back on?

Hi Joan,
Here is a series of "how to 's", not sure how well they work, that would probably depend on how bad the dents are:

Best to you.
Try just purchasing the new door or see if you could get a new cover of stainless maid for it
Dry ice can be your best friend! Be extremely cautious to not burn yourself handling it, please.

If you still cannot get the dents out, call a local person who does "on site dent repairs" on cars. It's just possible they can come in and fix them for you.
