The Hinge Bearing is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is designed to facilitate the smooth opening and closing of the refrigerator door by providing a pivot point for the door hinge. This bearing ensures that the door moves easily and remains properly aligned, helping to maintain a tight seal and optimal refrigerator performance.
Causes of a bad hinge bearing can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, exposure to moisture or temperature changes, and physical damage due to accidental impacts. Over time, these factors can cause the hinge bearing to wear out, become loose, or break, affecting the door's functionality.
Symptoms of a bad hinge bearing include:
- Difficulty opening or closing the refrigerator door
- The door not staying in place or sagging
- Unusual noises, such as squeaking or grinding, when the door is moved
- The door not sealing properly, leading to temperature fluctuations inside the refrigerator
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
