Frigidaire 241856501 Refrigerator Door Closer Plate

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 241856501 is a genuine OEM door closer plate designed for use in refrigerator door hinge assemblies. This small but critical component supports the door through its final arc of travel, directing movement so the door seats flush and square against the cabinet frame. The formed surface of the plate interacts with mating hinge parts to guide controlled closure, which in turn supports proper door gasket compression, an airtight seal, and stable interior temperature retention. At 0.10 pounds, it is a lightweight replacement part installed by appliance technicians and experienced DIYers performing hinge assembly service.

This door closer plate is used in standard top-mount and bottom-mount refrigerators where the door hinge assembly relies on a cam-style closing mechanism. It is positioned within the hinge assembly and engages as the door rotates toward the closed position. Units that exhibit a door that drifts open, fails to seat squarely, or shows uneven gasket compression are common candidates for this replacement. The part is genuine OEM, meaning it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original factory-installed component.

Consult the appliance service manual for the specific hinge disassembly sequence before beginning work.
