Frigidaire 242000501 Refrigerator Door Hinge Bearing

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 242000501 is a genuine OEM replacement hinge bearing designed for the lower door hinge assembly on Frigidaire refrigerators. This metal bearing supports smooth door pivot action and maintains proper door alignment over the life of the appliance. It is a direct replacement for the original part and is manufactured to the same specifications as the factory-installed component. Appliance repair technicians and experienced DIYers install this part when the lower door hinge shows wear, binding, or misalignment that affects door seal performance.

This hinge bearing is installed at the lower hinge position on Frigidaire refrigerators. It is suited for residential refrigerator applications where the original hinge bearing has worn, cracked, or failed. When a refrigerator door sags, drags, or fails to close and seal properly, the lower hinge bearing is a common service point. Replacement restores proper door swing and helps maintain gasket contact for efficient cabinet sealing.
