Features & Benefits

• OEM-specified fit: Manufactured to Frigidaire’s specifications for units listing part number 240516502. Frigidaire Appliance Parts+1

• Restores door hinge integrity: A new hinge pin helps ensure proper door operation, reducing sagging, misalignment, or binding of the door.

• Cost-effective hardware repair: Instead of replacing the entire hinge assembly or door, installing this single replacement pin addresses a common wear point at a lower cost.

• Simple installation: With basic tools and proper caution (supporting the door while replacing the pin), you can complete this repair relatively quickly.

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Is Needed

• The refrigerator door doesn’t close flush or appears uneven/slanted.

• The door hinge area shows excessive play, or the door seems to sag when opened.

• You hear creaking, squeaking, or see wear on the hinge pin/webbing.

• The existing hinge pin is visibly worn, bent, broken or the old holes appear elongated.

• Replacement of other parts didn’t resolve door alignment issues — the hinge pin may be the root cause.

Compatibility Notes

• While this part fits many Frigidaire models that list 240516502, you must verify your appliance’s model number, the hinge bracket orientation, and existing pin dimensions before purchasing. The AC Outlet+1

• If the hinge bracket, door liner mounting, or hinge plate are damaged or mis-aligned, simply replacing the pin may not restore full alignment — have your maintenance technician inspect the entire hinge assembly.

• The part addresses mechanical hinge function only — it does not solve unrelated issues such as cooling failures, door gasket leaks or compressor faults.

• Installation tip: Support the door securely, remove the old hinge pin, install the new pin, ensure correct seating, and verify smooth door operation.
