Frigidaire 241688501 Ice Door Center 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. :(:(:(

AppliancePartsPros.com and their convenient install videos made my repair take about 20 minutes and everything is running properly now. Thank you for your amazingly simple guidance and great customer service. I used you guys for two dishwasher repairs and now a fridge repair. Stellar website! Cheers!

Ordered correct parts from Appliance Parts Pros watched the install video from Parts Pros and installed took less time to install the parts then to watch the video LOL :) my local appliance company was no help at all and the parts were three times the amount! and ordered wrong the first two times

The screws retaining the front control panel totally corroded preventing removal to gain access. Apparently manufacturer neglected to use stainless screws. Heads of screws carefully drilled off allowing control panel removal . Fortunately supplier had 2 spare receiver holes in panel . Drilled new holes in frame to match receivers and installed new stainless screws #6 x 3/4. Replaced all three components as recommend by Parts Ware house. Most difficult part of reassembly was feeding cold water tube back into positioning hole. Tubing was very stiff(old age) Found tubing inlet at the bottom of freezer door and forced the line up into the dispensing point. This allowed easy fitting of hose into positioning hole. When PCB reinstalled the hose fed itself back down inside of door.
