Description

This door hinge assembly supports and pivots either the refrigerator (RC) or freezer (FC) door. Replacing a worn hinge restores smooth door movement and reliable gasket contact to help maintain proper temperatures and reduce air leaks.

• Positions the door on its pivot for smooth opening and closing
• Helps keep the door aligned so the gasket seals against the cabinet
• Reduces air leaks that can lead to frost or temperature fluctuations
• Common symptoms of a failing hinge include a sagging or misaligned door, popping/squeaking, or a door that won't close or seal properly
• Visible wear, bending, or damage to the hinge

What's included: 1 door hinge assembly. Install notes:

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Have a helper support the door; remove the hinge cover and fasteners, then lift the door off the hinge
• Transfer any shims/spacers from the old hinge to the new one in the same order
• Reinstall and tighten fasteners securely; adjust alignment per your model's service instructions
