The Mullion Flipper Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This assembly, located between the refrigerator doors, helps seal the space between the doors when they are closed, improving energy efficiency by preventing cold air from escaping.
Causes of a bad mullion flipper assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage from frequent opening and closing of the doors, or issues with the hinges and connectors that secure it in place. A damaged or malfunctioning mullion flipper can lead to temperature inconsistencies and increased energy usage.
Symptoms of a bad mullion flipper assembly include:
- Visible damage or wear on the assembly
- Cold air escaping from between the refrigerator doors
- Increased frost buildup inside the refrigerator
- Higher energy bills due to the appliance working harder to maintain temperature
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

Lg refrigerator front plate assembly broke where spring attaches Scott C. • Round Rock , TX • June 07, 2016
I searched online and easily found the best price for the Front Plate Assembly to be AppliancePartsPros.com. Even though I didn't pay for two day shipping, the part was shipped the next day and received the following day (Saturday), outstanding service.
Installing the piece was quite simple, requiring removing two screws, slipping the old part off of two retaining clips and disconnecting one wire connector. Reverse this to install new part.
