• Helps minimize warm air infiltration, condensation, and frost at the center post
• Restores proper door closure when the original rail is cracked, bent, or has a failed hinge/spring
• Common symptoms: loose or dangling center rail, doors popping back open, moisture/sweating at the center, visible cracks or broken tabs

• One door mullion (flipper rail) assembly

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; turn off water supply if lines run through the door
• Work with the doors supported to avoid misalignment or damage
• Transfer and align the rail on the upper and lower pivots, then secure with existing fasteners
• After installation, the rail flips freely and the doors seal and latch properly
