Description
Replace the worn or damaged upper hinge bearing of your refrigerator with the genuine OEM part 240328404 from Frigidaire (also used by Electrolux / White-Westinghouse / Tappan models). This bearing supports the top hinge of the refrigerator door, ensuring smooth operation, correct alignment and long-term durability. Because hinge assemblies, door styles, and liner configurations vary between models and years, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that part number 240328404 is correct for your appliance’s full model number before ordering. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+1
Features & Benefits
-
OEM-specified part: Manufactured to the original specifications of Frigidaire for proper fit, material strength and performance. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+1
-
Restores door movement & alignment: Replacing the bearing helps reduce door sag, noise, binding or mis-alignment as the door opens and closes.
-
Durable construction: Designed for long-lasting use under repeated door openings and heavy loads from full refrigerator/freezer doors.
-
Cost-effective repair: A single bearing replacement is significantly less expensive than hinge assembly replacement or full door re-alignment.
-
Straightforward installation (once compatibility verified): With correct part and technician checked, the bearing swap can restore door movement without major service overhaul.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The refrigerator door sags or is not flush with the cabinet when closed.
-
You hear creaking, grinding or unusual noise when opening or closing the door — the hinge bearing may be worn.
-
The door feels tight, sticks, or resists being opened/closed smoothly — a sign of bearing failure.
-
On inspection, the bearing is cracked, worn, missing, or the hinge area has visible loose or damaged parts.
If you observe any of these symptoms, have your maintenance technician verify the bearing is the issue and confirm 240328404 is the correct part for your model before ordering.
