Frigidaire 242036309 Mullion Flipper Sub-assembly

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 242036309 is a mullion flipper sub-assembly designed for French door refrigerators. It mounts between the two doors and folds into position as the doors close, creating a tight seal that blocks air infiltration and helps maintain stable interior temperatures. The assembly is grey in color and weighs 2.51 pounds. It serves as a direct OEM-style replacement, restoring proper door closure and reducing energy loss caused by seal failure. Appliance technicians and experienced service pros install this part when the existing mullion flipper is cracked, warped, or no longer seating correctly against the door frame.

This sub-assembly is suited for French door refrigerator applications in residential settings. It is compatible with refrigerators from Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, and Viking. The part replaces superseded part number 242036306 and is sold as a complete sub-assembly, eliminating the need to source individual components. Typical failure symptoms include visible gaps between doors when closed, interior temperature fluctuations, and frost buildup near the door mullion area.

Do not force the flipper arm into position; confirm proper pivot alignment before closing the doors to test the seal.
