Description

The Hinge-Lower is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is the bottom hinge that attaches the freezer door to the refrigerator body, allowing smooth opening and closing of the door. As a moving part, these hinges endure stress and wear from frequent use over the lifespan of the appliance.

Causes of a bad lower hinge can include repetitive opening and closing cycles that degrade lubrication over time. General wear and tear or physical impacts that bend or warp the hinge assembly will reduce function.  

Symptoms of a bad lower hinge include: 

• Door not sitting flush or securely closing  
• Loose or sagging door that does not stay in position  
• Noisy “creaking” sounds when opening or closing
• Visible damage or separation of hinge components

This OEM Frigidaire replacement hinge is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
