Frigidaire 241688401 Ice Door Bracket OEM Part

I wasn't sure if it was the door being warped, the spring return being worn, or the rotary damper failing, so I ordered all to update the door mechanism. I also ordered a new micro switch since one of the switches had started to require more and more pressure to actuate. Figured I'd fix it at the same time. Repair was very straightforward and the videos available on this and other repair sites were very helpful. I found a video that showed replacing the door mechanism on a nearly identical model to my fridge, and it helped with all aspects of the repair. Only minor issue I had on my model was that the water supply line was VERY short and the hole was very tight. I solved this by extending the line with a slightly smaller diameter tubing. I was able to slide the smaller tubing into the old one, and then feed that through the opening. Will make any future repairs much easier. And, the results are fantastic - since I replaced it all, I don't know what part was failing, but now I get that satisfactory 'thump' sealing noise on the ice door, and visual inspection shows no air leakage.

Although it took most of the day because my dominant hand is weak due to a stroke, I completed the task and now have a functioning ice maker with plenty of ice. As I disassembled the ice chute panel on the door, I also took photos so that I could reassemble the parts correctly. Of course, your videos were a big help, even if there were some internal design changes that were made either before or after my freezer ice maker was produced. But I persevered and won the battle. I'm not impressed with how the ice door seal and the ice door center are made of very soft rubber and will separate from the ice door bracket, which probably caused them to drop out of the ice chute with the previous owners. If that happens to me, I will silicone them together in the bracket to prevent that from happening. But I got a great, barely used $1000 refrigerator for $100 and with some tenacity and some parts from your company, I saved a lot of money! For those that are afraid to do it yourself, I'm a 73-year-old woman and a stroke victim with a weak hand. So you won't have an excuse to at least try to fix it yourself. The worst that can happen will be to call a repairman if you fail. :(:(:(

Started by taking the drip tray off. Then unscrewed the three screws. Pushed the control panel up. Pressed the wire harness off. Unscrewed the next 3 screws. Pulled the water line out. Unddid the wires again. Pulled the ice/water mechanism out. Pushed the torsion spring out. Put the new part in place. That was the tricky part. It has to be put in flipped up, replace the torsion spring, and then pushed down into place. Reconnected the wires. Pushed the water line back in place. Put the ice/water mechanism back in place. Replace the three screws. Reconnect the wires. Pushed the control panel on then down. Replaced the three screws. Replaced the drip tray.

Watched tutorial video, easy repair saved a technician call $$$$ very pleased.
