Description
Restore proper door alignment and secure hinge performance in your refrigerator with this genuine OEM bracket (part number 240313703) from Frigidaire (also fits select Electrolux, Tappan and White‑Westinghouse models). The hinge bracket supports the door’s weight and movement at the upper mount, helping maintain smooth open/close action and proper sealing. Because door hinge configurations vary by model and year, please check with your maintenance technician to verify the part number matches your appliance’s full model number before ordering. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+2a-1appliance.com+2
Features & Benefits
-
OEM-quality bracket designed for direct replacement—assures correct fit, durability and alignment. applianceparts.homedepot.ca+1
-
Supports smooth door operation and helps maintain door seal integrity, reducing wear on gaskets and hinge components.
-
Helps correct issues such as sagging door, misalignment, or door contact with adjacent cabinetry.
-
Straightforward installation when compatibility is confirmed: typically mounts at top hinge location once old bracket is removed and door supported.
-
Cost-effective replacement: fixes hinge-bracket issues without needing more extensive door or cabinet repairs.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The door sags, does not close flush, or appears misaligned at the top hinge area.
-
The door hinges squeak, grind, or feel loose/pivot poorly when opening/closing.
-
The door edge rubs or drags against the cabinet or the seal fails to make full contact because of hinge misalignment.
-
Visual inspection reveals cracked, bent or worn bracket mount, screws backing out, or bracket failure at old mounting points.
If any of these symptoms appear, consult your maintenance technician to verify the hinge bracket is the correct part rather than a hinge pin, door liner or damaged cabinet side.

Compatibility Notes
-
Even if your refrigerator door visually appears similar, hinge bracket mounting hole spacing, hinge pin diameter, or bracket height may vary—matching the full model number is essential. applianceparts.homedepot.ca+1
-
Replacing the bracket will restore alignment only if the door, hinge pin, and cabinet liner are not damaged; if you notice bent hinge pins or warping in the door/cabinet, additional repair may be necessary.
-
Installation should be done with power off if required, door supported (or removed/tilted as per service manual) to avoid injury or damage.
-
After installation, check that the door opens/closes freely, aligns flush, and the gasket seals properly.
