Customer Questions and Answers for Door Stop (Refrigerator Hinge) by Ge

This door stop mounts on the refrigerator hinge to limit the door's swing and prevent overextension that can damage cabinets, hinges, or wiring. Replacing a worn stop restores smooth, controlled door opening and proper clearance.

• Controls the door's opening range by acting as a hinge stop
• Helps prevent the door from striking walls or adjacent cabinets
• Replaces cracked, missing, or deformed stops that allow overextension
• Common symptoms: door swings too wide, scraping/clicking at the hinge, or a visibly broken stop

• Unplug the refrigerator and, if applicable, shut off the water supply
• Remove the hinge cover; support the door to relieve weight on the hinge
• Lift the door off the hinge or remove the hinge pin as required; note the stop's orientation
• Install the new stop, reassemble, and verify door alignment and gasket seal
