The laminate on a number of my kitchen cabinets is peeling apart probably from the heat/steam from the toaster or coffee maker.
How can I repair the damaged doors? Some can be glued but others not.
Best explaination for peeling Thermafoil cabinet repairs are the videos on YouTube.... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+repair+thermofoil+cabinet+doors+

Laminate should not peel from steam. heat, or moisture. I have laminate cabinets with a coffeemaker directly underneath and no problems at all. I assume you have Thermofoil cabinets. Plastic skin bonded to MDF. Over time the Thermofoil separates from the substrate.

They actually sell laminate to fix chips and peeled pieces like ur cabinet. U need an iron and some tape w the new laminate stip. Try Lowe’s Home Depot or any local craft or hardawre store. There’s actually a tutorial on here where someone used some on an antique table scalloped edge
I used contact cement on some and 3M weatherstrip adhesive on others. I think I taped it in place until I knew the glue was set. My son used 3M on the side piece of my countertop 15 yrs ago; it is still intact.
