Customer Questions and Answers for Bearing (Door Hinge) by Frigidaire

This bearing installs in the refrigerator/freezer door hinge to provide a smooth pivot point and maintain alignment. Replacing a worn bearing restores easy door movement and helps the door close and seal correctly.

• Provides a low-friction surface between the hinge pin and hinge bracket for smooth door pivoting
• Helps maintain proper door height and alignment for a reliable gasket seal
• Typical symptoms of wear: squeaking or grinding when opening, door binding or dropping, door not closing fully or popping open
• Excess wear can contribute to air leaks and frost buildup around the door

• Disconnect power before servicing; remove or secure items in the door
• Support the door; remove hinge fasteners and lift the door off if required
• Note and retain any shims/spacers; install the new bearing in the hinge as oriented in the diagram
