Frigidaire 241518301 Refrigerator Door Bushing

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 241518301 is a door hinge bushing designed for residential refrigerators and freezers. It seats at the hinge or pivot assembly, securing to the shaft or housing via press fit to remain firmly in place during operation. The bushing acts as a wear interface between moving and structural components, reducing friction and preventing damage to surrounding parts. It maintains proper component alignment through repeated door open-and-close cycles, supporting smooth door movement and protecting the hinge assembly from premature wear. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part during door hinge service.

This bushing is used in refrigerators and freezers where the door hinge pivot assembly requires replacement of the wear interface. Compatible product types include upright freezers and top-mount, bottom-mount, and side-by-side refrigerator configurations. It is a genuine OEM-style replacement part suited to units where the original bushing has cracked, deformed, or worn enough to cause door misalignment or hinge play. Compatible brands include Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, and Universal.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an appliance repair technician. Disconnect the refrigerator or freezer from power before beginning any door hinge service. The door may need to be removed from the hinge assembly to access and press out the old bushing. Use appropriate hand tools to press the new bushing fully into the hinge bore; do not force it at an angle, as this can crack the bushing or damage the hinge bracket.
