Frigidaire 241688801 Refrigerator Hinge Pin

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 241688801 is a genuine OEM refrigerator hinge pin that serves as the pivot point for the door assembly. It passes through aligned hinge sections on the door and cabinet mounting structure, allowing the door to open and close smoothly while maintaining proper alignment throughout normal operation. This pin is a direct hardware component - no electrical connections or tools beyond basic hand tools are required. It is a genuine OEM part, meaning it meets the original design specifications for fit and function. Appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part when a worn or damaged hinge pin causes door sag, misalignment, or binding. It replaces superseded part numbers 5304421627 and 7241688801.

This hinge pin is used in residential refrigerators, including models with dispenser ice chute door assemblies. It is suited for bottom-mount, top-mount, and side-by-side configurations where this specific hinge hardware is specified. Compatible brands sourced from the manufacturer include Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, White-Westinghouse, Crosley, and Gibson.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an appliance technician or qualified DIYer. Before servicing, unplug the refrigerator from the power supply and allow any ice or water dispenser components to depressurize or drain as applicable. The hinge pin is inserted through the aligned hinge sections on the door and cabinet frame - inspect mating hinge components for wear or damage before installing the new pin. Do not force the pin if alignment is off; reposition the door assembly to achieve full bore alignment before seating the pin.
