Frigidaire Refrigerator GLHS37EHSB8 Door won't open or close

The Upper Hinge Bearing is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It facilitates the smooth and quiet opening and closing. By reducing friction at the hinge point, it ensures the door operates seamlessly and is less prone to wear over time.

Causes of a faulty upper hinge bearing include repetitive stress and wear from continuous door opening and closing over time. Exposure to moisture may accelerate bearing degradation.

Symptoms of a bad upper hinge bearing include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises emitted from the hinge area
• Difficult door operation requiring increased lifting force
• Potential misalignment compromising door seal integrity

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

This refrigerator door stop limits how far the door swings open. Replacing a worn or broken stop restores the correct opening range, protecting the hinge and nearby cabinets while keeping door movement smooth and controlled.

• Mounts at the hinge to limit door swing and prevent overextension
• Protects the door, hinge, and adjacent cabinetry from impact damage
• Helps maintain proper door alignment and smooth operation
• Typical symptoms: door opens too far, bangs into surroundings, or the stop is visibly cracked/missing

• Disconnect power and clear items from the door before starting
• Support the door; remove hinge cover/fasteners and the damaged stop
• Install the new stop in the same orientation; tighten screws securely
• Reassemble and test the door swing to ensure it stops smoothly
