Parts for Ge ZDBR240HAPS: Door Parts

The Magnetic Gasket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part is a flexible seal that runs along the edge of the refrigerator door, ensuring a tight closure. The magnetic gasket helps to maintain the internal temperature by preventing warm air from entering and cold air from escaping, thus enhancing energy efficiency and preserving food quality.

Causes of a bad magnetic gasket can include wear and tear over time, physical damage from frequent door openings and closings, or loss of magnetism which can weaken the seal.

Symptoms of a bad magnetic gasket include:

• The refrigerator door not closing properly
• Warm air leaking into the refrigerator
• Increased energy consumption
• Frost buildup inside the refrigerator
• Visible cracks or deformities in the gasket

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This door hinge assembly supports and pivots the refrigerator door to keep it aligned and closing properly. Replacing a worn hinge restores smooth operation and prevents door sag or gaps that can reduce cooling performance. What it does:

• Provides a secure pivot point so the door opens and closes smoothly.
• Keeps door alignment to maintain a consistent seal and reduce air leaks.
• Prevents sagging that can cause rubbing, noise, or uneven wear.
• Common symptom of failure: door hangs, binds, or does not close fully.

• Disconnect power and remove all food and free-standing shelves from the door area before starting.
• Support the door while removing the old hinge to prevent unexpected drops or damage.
• Use appropriate tools and gently tighten fasteners to manufacturer torque; avoid over-tightening.

This hinge fill plug covers and seals the fridge/freezer door hinge opening to keep the hinge area tidy and reduce dirt and moisture entry. It restores the finished look and helps protect hinge hardware from debris. What it does:

• Covers the hinge opening or bolt for a clean appearance
• Helps keep dirt, dust and moisture out of the hinge cavity
• Protects hinge hardware from contamination that can affect movement
• Useful when a factory hinge cap is missing or damaged

• Typically snaps or presses into place; minimal tooling required.
• Support the door if removing hinge hardware; follow the appliance manufacturer's safety instructions.
• Disconnect power before working on electrical components nearby.
• If the old plug is brittle or stuck, gently pry with a plastic tool to avoid cosmetic damage.
