Frigidaire Refrigerator FRS26R4AB1 Door won't open or close

The Door Hinge Bearing is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It supports the refrigerator door, allowing it to open and close smoothly. This bearing ensures that the door remains properly aligned and operates without excessive friction, contributing to the overall longevity and functionality of the refrigerator.

Over time, door hinge bearings can wear out due to regular use, exposure to weight stress, or lack of lubrication. When the hinge bearing becomes faulty, the refrigerator door may become misaligned, difficult to open or close, or cause unusual noises.

Symptoms of a bad door hinge bearing include:

• The door sagging or becoming misaligned
• Difficulty opening or closing the door
• Unusual squeaking or grinding noises when the door moves
• The door not sealing properly, leading to temperature fluctuations inside the refrigerator

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

The Door Closer Plate is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It helps ensure that the refrigerator door closes smoothly and securely, preventing air leaks that can compromise the appliance's efficiency and cooling performance.

Symptoms of a bad door closer plate include:

• The refrigerator door not closing properly or staying ajar
• Increased energy consumption due to air leaks
