Description
Give your refrigerator a clean, finished look and restore its structural base trim with the genuine OEM toe-kick grille part number 241839405 from Frigidaire. This front base panel covers the bottom area beneath the door, shields internal components, and improves the appliance’s appearance. Because base panels differ by width, mounting tabs, finish (white, black, stainless) and model year, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm this part number matches your appliance’s full model number before ordering. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+2appliancerepair.homedepot.com+2
Features & Benefits
-
Genuine OEM part: engineered by Frigidaire for proper fit, matching aesthetics and durability. partselect.com+1

Covers and protects the base area underneath the appliance door, helping keep dust and debris out of internal components.

Improves appearance: replaces cracked, dented or missing base panels, restoring a clean look to your appliance.
-
Straightforward replacement: for many models, this panel clips or screws into place, making installation relatively quick.
-
Cost-effective fix: more affordable than replacing the entire door or liner when issue is cosmetic or trim-related.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The front base panel (toe-kick) is cracked, broken, missing, or has bent/warped sections.
-
You see internal components (compressor area, hinge, insulation) visible beneath or around the door base — likely missing or damaged grille.
-
There’s extra air draft from beneath the appliance or unsightly gap beneath the door where the kick-plate should be.
-
The appliance appears less finished at the base, perhaps with dirt build-up or debris collected around the missing or loose panel.
If you observe any of these symptoms, have your technician verify that part 241839405 is the correct base panel for the model — and that the underlying mounting clips or door liner are intact.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the full model number on the appliance (including letters & digits) is essential — even if the old panel looks identical, mounting tab spacing or width may differ across production runs. partselect.com
-
This part is strictly cosmetic/structural — replacing the panel will fix appearance and base protection only; if there are other functional issues (door alignment, hinge damage, floor clearance), those need separate diagnosis.
-
Installation: remove the old panel (unscrew or unclip), clean the area of debris, align the new panel ensuring mounting clips line up, secure it, and check that the appliance sits level and flush with floor.
-
After installation, open/close the door a few times and inspect the base for any gaps or misalignment that might indicate mounting clips or liner damage.
