Description

This hinge bushing is a small pivot-bearing that helps a refrigerator or freezer door swing smoothly and stay properly aligned. Replacing a worn or cracked bushing restores quieter, more reliable door operation and reduces hinge wear. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction pivot surface for the door hinge to prevent metal-on-metal wear
• Helps keep the door aligned so it closes evenly and seals correctly
• Reduces squeaks, binding, or drooping caused by worn hinge components
• Works as part of the hinge assembly to extend hinge and door life

What's included:

• One hinge bushing

Install notes:

• Unplug the appliance or shut off power before servicing to avoid electrical hazards
• Remove door contents and follow OEM diagram for proper hinge removal and reassembly
• Replace only the damaged bushing; inspect surrounding hinge parts for wear and replace if needed
