Frigidaire 241708002 Refrigerator Center Hinge Pin

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 241708002 is a genuine OEM center hinge pin designed to serve as the pivot point between the upper and lower door hinge assemblies on refrigerators with separate refrigerator and freezer doors. Installed at the center hinge location where the two door sections meet the cabinet structure, this pin supports the weight of both doors while allowing smooth, controlled door movement. It plays a direct role in maintaining proper door alignment, which is critical for consistent gasket contact and an effective door seal. Appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part when a worn or damaged hinge pin causes doors to sag, bind, or fail to seal correctly.

This center hinge pin is used in residential refrigerators where the refrigerator and freezer compartments each have their own door and share a center hinge assembly. It is commonly needed when doors show visible misalignment, when the gasket is not seating evenly around the perimeter, or when the existing pin shows wear, corrosion, or physical damage. Compatible brands include Frigidaire, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, Tappan, Crosley, Kelvinator, Gibson, and Universal appliances.

Remove the doors carefully and support them to avoid stress on wiring harnesses or door switches. Consult the appliance service manual for the correct disassembly sequence specific to the unit being serviced.
